A strike on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport killed at least 12 people and injured over 300. The attack, claimed by Yemen's Houthi rebels, marks the deadliest in Saudi Arabia in over a decade. The bombing targeted a critical transport hub, disrupting regional travel and raising security concerns.
Houthi rebels also struck Saudi Arabia's energy infrastructure, damaging oil facilities and disrupting power supplies. Reports indicate the rebels are using advanced weaponry, including Chinese-supplied components, to build medium-range ballistic missiles. This escalation has led to increased military and diplomatic responses from regional allies.
The attacks have prompted international condemnation, with Pakistan's political leaders uniting to express solidarity with Saudi Arabia. The Houthi movement, backed by Iran, continues to target Saudi sites, including the headquarters of state oil company Aramco. These strikes have forced the postponement of major events, including a tennis tournament, highlighting the growing impact of the conflict on daily life and international relations.
The Houthi rebels have intensified their campaign against Saudi Arabia, leveraging both conventional and advanced weaponry. The attacks have deepened tensions in the region, with neighboring countries and global powers closely monitoring the situation. As the conflict escalates, the humanitarian and economic consequences for both nations grow more severe.
