Houthi attacks kill three at Saudi Airports, including in Riyadh

Iran-backed Houthis launched attacks on two Saudi airports, claiming responsibility for the strikes that killed three people and injured dozens. The assaults targeted King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and Abha airport in the southwestern region. The Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation reported the incidents, noting damage to both facilities.

Among those killed was a Sudanese national, while five Saudi citizens, two Egyptians, and a Pakistani resident sustained injuries. This surge in Houthi aggression comes amid ongoing conflict in Yemen, where the militant group is battling Saudi-backed forces.
