EASA warns airlines to avoid Saudi airspace amid Houthi missile, drone attacks

The EU Aviation Safety Agency issued a warning for airlines to avoid parts of Saudi airspace due to risks from Houthi missile and drone attacks and air-defense activity, citing a 'highly volatile' regional security situation. This reflects an escalation in cross-border attacks from Yemen into Saudi territory, potentially disrupting regional air travel and raising insurance costs. The warning underscores the ongoing conflict's spillover into civilian infrastructure.
