Saudi capital airport hit again, officials confirm evacuation and halted flights

Saudi capital's King Khalid International Airport has been attacked again, with officials confirming an evacuation and halted air traffic, according to two regional sources speaking anonymously. The airport has been targeted multiple times this week, including a Thursday attack that killed three Saudi civilians, among them a pilot. Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed responsibility for those strikes, though no statement was issued Saturday. The airport advised passengers to verify flights with airlines before traveling. The attacks come amid escalated fighting in Yemen, where a Saudi-led coalition is backing government forces against recent Houthi gains along the Red Sea.
