The attack is the deadliest reported strike in a Gulf Arab country since the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran began. No group had immediately claimed responsibility, but the incident comes amid escalating missile attacks by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis against Saudi Arabia. A major energy conference is proceeding in Riyadh despite the assault, while the disruption adds new risks for regional security, air travel, and global energy markets.
