Houthi Missile/Drone Strikes Escalate Against Saudi Arabia and Aden

Houthi forces have significantly escalated cross-border missile and drone attacks targeting Saudi international airports (Riyadh, Abha, Khamis Mushait) and Aden International Airport in Yemen. Saudi authorities confirm three fatalities and 36 injuries from airport attacks, while Houthi claims of specific strikes on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport and other facilities remain partially unconfirmed. This marks a renewed offensive following a period of relative de-escalation, raising regional security risks.
