Saudi air defenses intercept Houthi ballistic missiles and drones

Houthi forces have significantly intensified missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia, with confirmed strikes on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh resulting in 13 fatalities and over 300 injuries. Saudi air defenses have intercepted multiple subsequent Houthi missiles targeting Riyadh and other provinces, including claims of repeat airport strikes. The sustained international military backing for Saudi air defense, including Greece's extended Patriot deployment, underscores the persistent threat.

Houthi forces have launched multiple ballistic missile and drone attacks targeting critical infrastructure and population centers across Saudi Arabia, including oil zones, Riyadh, and the Eastern and Western Provinces. Saudi air defenses have intercepted these projectiles, with debris causing minor property damage in Riyadh. This escalation follows the collapse of a truce, with Iran denying involvement.
