Houthi forces launched ballistic missiles at Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh airport, with Saudi air defenses intercepting two; debris injured two in Khamis Mushayt and Ahad Rafidah. This continues the established pattern of Houthi cross-border attacks, but the explicit targeting of Riyadh airport marks an escalation in range and intent.

Houthi forces have significantly escalated missile and drone attacks targeting Saudi Arabia, with King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh being a primary and explicitly declared military target. While the airport has reopened, flight disruptions persist, and Houthi threats of further attacks are ongoing. The targeting of critical civilian and energy infrastructure, alongside claims of attacks near holy cities, indicates a broadening and intensifying Houthi campaign.
