Saudi Arabia's energy minister, Prince Abdul Aziz bin Salman, has vowed a 'serious' response following a week of Houthi-led missile and drone attacks on Saudi airports and energy infrastructure. The strikes, primarily targeting Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport, have killed at least 20 people and injured over 300 since October 6. The Houthis stated the attacks are retaliation for Saudi military operations in Yemen. In response to the escalation, Riyadh's main airport has been closed, schools have moved to remote learning, and international airlines have suspended flights. U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly considering joining Saudi Arabia in retaliatory strikes against the Iran-backed Houthi group.
