Saudi Arabia says 3 killed at Riyadh airport as Yemen war expands

Saudi Arabia reported that three people were killed in attacks on Riyadh's international airport, including a pilot. This escalation in violence marks a significant expansion of the Yemen war, with the Iran-backed Houthis targeting Saudi targets. The conflict between the Houthis and Yemen's Saudi-backed government has been ongoing, but the recent attacks on the airport indicate a widening of the conflict. This development could have a negative impact on regional stability and potentially affect global trade routes.
