Saudi Arabia says Houthi missile attacks kill three at Riyadh airport

Three Saudi nationals were killed and several injured in two attacks on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport, Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority confirmed Friday. The first attack targeted airport facilities, while the second struck a Saudia aircraft, causing material damage and injuries ranging from minor to severe. Airport operations have since resumed. Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis claimed responsibility, saying they fired two cruise missiles. The Houthis also claimed attacks on an airport in Najran and an airbase in Khamis Mushait, which Saudi authorities have not confirmed. The group cites Saudi support for Yemen's government forces in the civil war, part of the broader US-Iran conflict.
