Houthi rebels launched a deadly missile attack on Saudi Arabia's capital city, Riyadh, on Saturday. The strike on King Khalid International Airport has reportedly killed at least 13 people and left 300 injured.
This incident marks a significant escalation in regional tensions and is described as the single most deadly attack on any Gulf country since the US and Israel launched their war on Iran in February. The death toll is considered high for Saudi Arabia, a country unaccustomed to such fatalities.
A senior Houthi official stated that the attack was intended to convey that Yemeni civilian infrastructure has been targeted by the Saudis. The Gulf region has reportedly entered a new era of instability over the past year.
