Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Houthi rebels struck Saudi airports, killing one and injuring 11 in Riyadh, with another attack confirmed at Dammam. The strikes mark a escalation in violence between Yemen's Houthis and Saudi Arabia.

The attacks occurred days after a deadly missile strike on Riyadh airport, which killed 13 and injured over 300. Houthis claimed responsibility for both attacks, warning airlines and travelers to avoid Saudi airports.

Saudi authorities confirmed the attacks and extended airport closures, while the Houthis warned of further retaliation. The incidents highlight the ongoing conflict in Yemen and the regional implications of the US-Iran war.

Houthi claims Saudi Arabia struck Sanaa, and both sides vowed a tough response. The attacks underscore the vulnerability of Saudi infrastructure and the potential for wider regional escalation.
