Riyadh airport hit by fresh Houthi strike day after deadly attack killed 12

Riyadh's international airport was hit by a fresh Houthi strike on Sunday, just a day after a deadly attack claimed by the Yemeni group killed at least 12 people and forced authorities to suspend operations. This attack marks a sharp escalation in the Yemen war, where Saudi Arabia backs the internationally recognised government against the Houthis. The escalation in violence is a significant concern for markets and trade, as it may lead to increased tensions in the region and disrupt global supply chains.
