Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels targeted two airports in southern Saudi Arabia with explosive drones and missiles, causing material damage and injuring three people. The strikes hit the King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Jazan and the Najran International Airport near the border with Yemen. Saudi aviation authorities confirmed the incidents and announced that emergency measures are being taken to safeguard civil aviation and assess the structural damage. These retaliatory cross-border attacks follow an intense new military counteroffensive launched by Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces to reclaim strategic territory. The escalating hostilities threaten to completely unravel the fragile regional de-escalation and risk reigniting a wider multi-front conflict.
