Three Saudi citizens, including a Saudia Airlines pilot, were killed and several others injured in dual attacks targeting King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for the strikes, which also damaged airport infrastructure and a grounded commercial aircraft. The fatal incident marks a significant escalation in hostilities as Saudi Arabia backs a major military offensive by UN-recognized government forces inside Yemen. The attack disrupted regional air traffic and forced flight cancellations just days before Riyadh is scheduled to host a major meeting of global energy policymakers. International leaders and organizations condemned the strike on civilian infrastructure, prompting heightened security alerts and warnings of broader regional instability.
