Riyadh Airport Attacked Again, Halting Air Traffic
An airport in Saudi Arabia's capital was attacked again Saturday and evacuated, halting air traffic, two regional officials said, marking the latest assault in an escalating conflict with Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh follows a Wednesday strike that killed three Saudis, including a pilot, and a separate incident that killed a Sudanese national. The Houthis claimed responsibility for earlier attacks, though no immediate claim was made Saturday. The Saudi-led coalition has been bombing Houthi positions in Yemen, where rebels have gained ground along the Red Sea, threatening a key shipping corridor. The U.S. has not signaled military support, and Saudi authorities have warned citizens against sharing information about missile and drone strikes.
