Saudi plane hit by Houthi shelling
The Yemeni Houthi group launched a ballistic missile attack on King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, causing disruptions to air traffic and destroying a Saudi Airlines commercial aircraft that was empty of passengers. The Houthis confirmed that the missile successfully hit its target, amid rising threats to shut down Saudi airspace, with sounds of explosions and warnings from Saudi authorities, who partially halted flight operations. This escalation follows an increase in Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, including targeting oil facilities and threatening to evacuate oil installations and airports, reflecting a heightening of tensions between the conflicting parties.
