Riyadh rocked by explosions, Houthis target airport
Saudi Arabia is facing a fierce military escalation from the Yemeni Houthi group, which includes missile and drone attacks on Saudi airports and cities. Among these attacks was a missile strike on King Khalid International Airport that caused its disruption, in addition to attacks on Abha and King Khalid airports that resulted in three deaths and 36 injuries. Coalition forces responded by destroying 82 Houthi targets across various regions of Yemen, including missile launch platforms and a ballistic missile launch site used for attacks. Military operations within Yemen have intensified, with the Houthis targeting strategic sites and taking control of the Mocha Island and parts of Taiz. These developments have led to the displacement of over 200,000 people and an unprecedented escalation in security and humanitarian crises, worsening over the past years. The Yemeni government announced the launch of a broad military operation to regain control of the provinces. Meanwhile, neighboring countries, the Arab League, and Western nations condemned the attacks on Saudi civilian infrastructure, considering them a serious escalation and a violation of international laws.
