Deadly Houthi attacks on Riyadh airport kill three Saudis

Three people were killed in attacks on Thursday at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, including a Saudia airline pilot, with several others wounded. Iran-backed Houthi forces claimed responsibility, though no official confirmation was given. The first attack targeted airport facilities, while the second struck an aircraft, according to the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority, which reported injuries among citizens and residents of various nationalities. Airport operations were later normalized. The incident is the deadliest in Saudi Arabia since a major military offensive began last weekend against Houthi forces in Yemen. A Sudanese citizen was killed in a separate attack at the same airport earlier this week.
