Houthi attacks on Riyadh airport kill three Saudis

Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh killed three Saudi citizens and wounded several others on Thursday, marking the third consecutive day of strikes on the kingdom's airports and military sites. The Saudi civil aviation authority reported the deaths and injuries from two attacks, which also caused material damage. The Houthis claimed responsibility, saying they launched cruise and ballistic missiles at Riyadh, Najran airport, and King Khalid Air Base, disrupting air traffic. The Iran-backed group's leader warned Saudi Arabia to prepare for a prolonged conflict, vowing to continue attacks. The escalation follows the collapse of a US-brokered ceasefire in July, with Houthis expanding drone and missile strikes on Saudi oil facilities, airports, and shipping routes.
