Houthi Missile Strikes on Riyadh Airport Kill Three Saudis

Houthi missile strikes on Riyadh airport Thursday killed three people, Saudi authorities said Friday, as the Yemeni group escalated attacks on the kingdom amid a widening regional conflict. The strikes injured several others, damaged a Saudia Airlines plane, and forced airlines to cancel flights to the Saudi capital ahead of a major oil industry meeting. Saudi airstrikes hit Houthi targets in Sanaa overnight, and the coalition said it destroyed three missile launch platforms. The attacks follow Houthi strikes that killed three people earlier this week and are part of a campaign to shut down Saudi airspace. The conflict, triggered by the US-Israeli attack on Iran, has disrupted Red Sea shipping and threatens global energy markets.
