Saudi Arabia confirms three nationals killed in Houthi missile strikes on Riyadh airport

Three Saudi nationals were killed in Houthi missile attacks on Riyadh's international airport, Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority confirmed, with one pilot among the dead. The strikes mark a deadly escalation in the conflict. The first attack targeted the airport, while the second struck a Saudia aircraft, also injuring Saudi citizens and residents of various nationalities. Air traffic has since returned to normal, and the Houthis claimed responsibility for the missile launches. The deaths follow three others killed in Houthi attacks on Saudi airports on October 6 and 7. The group, which controls much of northwest Yemen, says it is retaliating against Saudi support for Yemen's government forces amid renewed fighting.
