Deadly attacks by Iran-backed Houthis on Saudi airports highlight widening fallout from Yemen conflict

Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for attacks on two Saudi Arabian international airports, resulting in three deaths and 36 injuries. The strikes targeted Abha and King Khalid international airports, with the rebels also reporting the use of drones and missiles against the King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait.

While Saudi authorities confirmed the casualties and the locations of the strikes, official reports from the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation have not explicitly attributed the attacks to a specific party. The incident underscores the escalating regional impact of the ongoing conflict in Yemen.
