Houthi missile strike forces evacuation of Riyadh airport, dozens injured

Houthi fighters from Yemen attacked Riyadh's airport with a missile on Saturday, prompting an evacuation and leaving dozens injured, according to a diplomatic source cited by AFP. The strike marks an unprecedented escalation in attacks on the Saudi capital. Witnesses described chaos, with one passenger reporting seeing injured people and everyone running near the terminal hit by the missile. Saudi authorities have not officially confirmed the strike or evacuation, and the Houthis have not immediately claimed responsibility for the airport attack. The airport had already been targeted on Wednesday and Thursday, causing flight disruptions, and Saturday's attack follows recent Saudi military support for Yemeni government forces battling the Houthis. Both sides appear determined to continue fighting rather than pursue a diplomatic solution.
