A missile fired by Houthi militants in Yemen struck the airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, resulting in at least 12 fatalities and 309 injuries. This attack represents the deadliest in the Saudi capital for a decade. Among the casualties is one French national. The incident has prompted concerns about escalating tensions in the ongoing conflict between the Houthi movement and the Saudi-led coalition. The Saudi government is now facing pressure to respond to this aggressive act, raising fears of further retaliation and a deepening of the crisis. This strike underscores the vulnerability of civilian infrastructure in Saudi Arabia to attacks from Yemen. International condemnation of the attack is expected, with calls for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
