Three Saudi nationals killed in Houthi attacks on Riyadh airport

Yemen's Houthi group conducted two missile attacks on Riyadh's international airport, resulting in the deaths of three Saudi nationals, including a pilot for the state carrier Saudia. These attacks mark a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict, coinciding with reports of Houthi strikes on other Saudi facilities and a recent maritime embargo declared by the group. While Saudi authorities confirmed the casualties in Riyadh and reported that air traffic has since returned to normal, they have not confirmed reports of additional attacks in Najran or Khamis Mushait.
