Houthis claim missile attacks on several Saudi airports
Yemen's Houthi forces claimed attacks on Abha and Riyadh's King Khalid international airports that killed three civilians and injured 36 since the previous day. Earlier strikes on Najran and Jizan airports caused material damage and wounded three people.
Why it matters
Strikes on the Saudi capital's main airport signal a widening Yemen conflict that threatens civil aviation and Gulf stability.
Background
The Iran-aligned Houthi movement seized Yemen's capital Sanaa in 2014, and a Saudi-led coalition intervened in 2015 to back the internationally recognised government. The Houthis have previously fired missiles and drones at Saudi territory.
