Lufthansa suspends Riyadh flights as Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia escalate

Lufthansa has suspended flights to Riyadh until October 16 as Yemen's Houthi militia escalates attacks on Saudi Arabia, including the largest wave of strikes on the kingdom since the Iran war began. Saudi-led coalition forces intercepted two missiles targeting Riyadh, with debris hitting a kindergarten and health facility. The Houthis claimed three attacks on Riyadh's airport in one day, damaging two planes, and warned all international airlines to avoid Saudi airspace. The U.S. has urged citizens in Riyadh to exercise heightened caution and required special permission for government employees to use the airport. Wednesday's attacks killed three people and wounded 36, prompting coalition airstrikes on 82 Houthi military targets.
