Houthis claim drone/missile attacks on Saudi airports, airbase

Yemen's Houthis claim drone and missile attacks on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Abha International Airport, and an airbase in Khamis Mushait. Saudi authorities have not confirmed the attacks, leaving the extent of damage and success uncertain. This continues the Houthis' pattern of long-range strikes into Saudi territory, but targeting Riyadh's main airport, if confirmed, would mark a notable escalation in reach and potential disruption.
