The attack is the latest escalation in missile strikes by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis against Saudi Arabia. Victims reportedly included Saudi nationals and citizens of several other countries, while Saudi authorities said the airport assault caused significant casualties and operational disruption. The incident risks widening the regional conflict and increasing pressure on Riyadh and its allies to retaliate. U.S. President Donald Trump condemned the attack and said he planned to speak with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. [1][3][5][9][10]
