Houthi Missile Strike Hits Riyadh Airport, Flights Diverted
A fresh missile attack struck Terminal 3 of Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, prompting evacuations and emergency response operations. Reuters reported that more than a dozen ambulances rushed to the airport, while flight-tracking data showed arrivals being diverted or cancelled. The attack comes amid escalating strikes by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi group against Saudi Arabia. Earlier attacks this week killed three Saudi citizens, including an airline pilot. Several international airlines have suspended services, raising concerns over aviation safety and regional security.
