Houthis claim attack on Riyadh airport as airlines suspend flights to Saudi capital

The Houthis, a Yemen-based group, have claimed responsibility for an attack on Riyadh airport in Saudi Arabia. They say a ballistic missile damaged a plane, but have not provided any evidence to support their claim. The attack has led some airlines to suspend flights to the Saudi capital, which could disrupt air travel and trade in the region. This development may increase tensions between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, potentially affecting the global economy through oil price fluctuations.
