Seventeen people have been killed in a total of 20 attacks targeting Riyadh Airport in Saudi Arabia throughout October, according to the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen. The announcement was made during a press conference on Thursday, reported by AFP. The coalition also accused the Houthis of declining an invitation to talks in Oman. Saudi Arabia and its allies launched a major offensive against the Houthi militia in Yemen earlier in October. Since then, Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia have also been escalated. The increasing attacks signal a worsening of the conflict and a rejection of diplomatic efforts, raising concerns about regional stability.
