Missile Strike on Riyadh Airport Terminal Wounds Many, Forces Evacuation
A missile struck a passenger terminal at Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport on Saturday, wounding many people and forcing the airport's evacuation, two regional officials said. The attack marks the latest in a series of assaults on the Saudi capital amid escalating conflict with Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The airport was closed and flights were diverted or canceled, with Kuwait Airways and several international carriers suspending service. The Houthis, who claimed responsibility for earlier attacks including one Wednesday that killed three people, had no immediate statement on Saturday's strike. The assault comes as Saudi Arabia faces intensified attacks on airports, military sites, and oil infrastructure following its offensive against Houthi forces in Yemen. U.S. President Donald Trump said he was "not happy" about the attacks, but no new American military support has been announced.
