Houthi rebels launched a missile attack on Riyadh for the third day in a row, escalating tensions in the region. The attack hit a military facility in the capital, according to Saudi officials. The missile strike caused minor damage but no casualties. The Houthi group, based in Yemen, has been conducting attacks on Saudi Arabia since 2015.
The Saudi government has condemned the attacks, calling them acts of aggression. US President Donald Trump also expressed his disapproval, accusing the Houthis of escalating hostilities. Saudi Arabia has halted all flights at Riyadh airport as a precautionary measure. The attacks come amid ongoing conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, which began in 2015 when Saudi Arabia launched a military campaign to restore the Yemeni government.
The conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths and a humanitarian crisis in Yemen. The Houthis, supported by Iran, have been fighting against the Saudi-led coalition. The recent missile attacks mark a new escalation in the conflict, with the Houthis targeting Saudi infrastructure. The Saudi government has vowed to continue its military operations in Yemen. The situation remains volatile, with both sides continuing to exchange fire.
