Houthi Attack Disrupts Saudi Flights, India Issues Advisory

A Houthi missile attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and Abha airport has severely disrupted Saudi Arabia's air travel, causing flight cancellations and prompting an advisory for Indian nationals. The attack damaged the airport and a parked Saudia Airlines aircraft, disrupting 55 percent of flights from Riyadh, with only 169 of 378 scheduled flights operating. Indian carriers Akasa Air, Indigo, Air India, and Air India Express, along with Lufthansa and Air Canada, have cancelled services to Saudi Arabia. The Wednesday attacks killed three people and injured 36 others. The Indian Embassy has advised citizens in Saudi Arabia to avoid unnecessary outings and remain indoors if security warnings are issued.
