Houthi strike on Riyadh airport destroys Saudia Airbus A310

A Houthi missile strike on Riyadh destroyed at least one Saudia Airbus A310-200 passenger plane at King Khalid International Airport, according to witnesses and open-source intelligence reports. The aircraft was hit while parked at Terminal 4, sustaining severe fuselage damage, with one source claiming three planes were struck. It is unclear if the jet took a direct hit or was damaged by debris from intercepted missiles, and it was likely empty. The attack marks an escalation in the Yemen conflict, prompting flight delays and suspensions by several international airlines. Houthi officials warned global carriers against using Saudi airspace, while Saudi authorities have not yet commented on the incident.
