Saudi Arabia reported the latest attack on its capital’s main airport as Iran-aligned Houthi forces continued attacks linked to the broader regional war. The incident came alongside reports of Saudi-led coalition strikes in Yemen, while North Korea launched multiple ballistic missiles and Russia and Ukraine faced renewed uncertainty over a proposed energy ceasefire. The Riyadh airport attacks are the most immediate international security development because they target civilian aviation and threaten further escalation across the Gulf.
