A ballistic missile attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels struck Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia, causing explosions, halting flights, and damaging at least three aircraft. The Houthis announced three separate attacks on Thursday, also targeting an airport in Najran and an air base in Khamis Mushait. Saudi-led coalition forces intercepted two missiles earlier, with falling debris damaging a kindergarten and medical complex in Riyadh. The attacks mark an unprecedented escalation in the eight-month Middle East conflict. Australia and the United States have issued travel warnings, urging citizens to exercise heightened vigilance due to ongoing military strikes across Saudi Arabia.
