Houthi Attacks on Saudi Arabia Escalate, Targeting Riyadh Airport and Oil Facilities

Houthi forces have significantly escalated attacks on Saudi Arabia, targeting Riyadh's international airport at least 20 times since October and striking oil infrastructure. These sustained attacks, utilizing missiles and drones, expose vulnerabilities in Saudi air defenses and have led to the postponement of major events, indicating a direct impact on Saudi diplomatic and economic activities. Saudi Arabia attributes these actions to Iranian support, a claim that remains unverified.
