A Houthi missile strike hit King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, killing 12 people and injuring more than 300, according to Saudi authorities. The attack occurred on Saturday, marking another escalation in the ongoing conflict between Yemeni rebels and Saudi Arabia. The Houthi militia, backed by Iran, has targeted Saudi civilian infrastructure, including airports, in recent weeks.
International reactions to the attack have been swift and severe. Multiple countries and organizations have condemned the strike, with the Saudi Press Agency reporting widespread criticism. The attack has raised concerns about the safety of civilian aviation and the potential for further escalation. Calls for international action to protect civilians have intensified, with some nations urging a coordinated response to Houthi aggression.
The Houthi group, which is supported by Iran, has been engaged in a prolonged conflict with Saudi Arabia and its allies since 2015. The group has launched numerous attacks on Saudi territory, targeting military and civilian sites. This latest strike adds to a pattern of violence that has drawn global attention and prompted discussions about the role of external actors in the region. The situation remains volatile, with ongoing tensions between the involved parties.
