The attacks mark a significant escalation in the Yemen conflict and pose a direct threat to Saudi Arabia’s civilian aviation and energy infrastructure. Saudi defenses are being scrutinized after missiles or drones reached the Riyadh area, while the Saudi-led coalition has reportedly struck oil facilities west of Sanaa. The disruption comes amid renewed fighting in Yemen and could increase regional tensions involving Saudi Arabia, the Houthis and Iran.
