Houthi Attacks Escalate in Saudi Arabia: Airport Terminal Hit by Projectile
The Saudi-led coalition fighting Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen has reported that a projectile struck a passenger terminal at Riyadh's international airport on Sunday. This attack followed a missile strike on the same terminal a day earlier, which tragically killed 12 people. The escalating violence underscores the growing threat posed by Houthi forces to Saudi Arabia's security. The Houthis have intensified their attacks on Saudi territory in recent months, targeting critical infrastructure and civilian areas. The strikes on the airport in Riyadh, the capital, represent a significant escalation and have raised concerns about the safety of civilians and the potential for broader regional conflict. The Saudi-led coalition has been fighting the Houthis since 2015 in a conflict that has devastated Yemen and created a humanitarian crisis. The recent attacks on Riyadh highlight the Houthis' increasing capabilities and their willingness to strike deep inside Saudi territory. The international community has condemned the attacks and called for restraint, but the situation remains volatile.
