Houthis claim new strike on Riyadh airport hours after it reopens
Yemen's Houthis said they struck Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport again, hours after it reopened from a two-week closure. Saudi forces said they intercepted a ballistic missile and two drones over Riyadh Province. Two people were hurt by falling debris in the south. Dakar rally organizers moved the 2027 race out of Saudi Arabia.
Why it matters
Attacks on the Saudi capital disrupt flights for pilgrims and workers and raise risks to Gulf energy sites.
Background
