The escalating Houthi campaign against Saudi Arabia has disrupted air travel and heightened regional tensions. Saudi-led coalition forces said they intercepted the latest missile, while Riyadh’s airport closure has been extended through October 17 and airlines have canceled flights. The attacks come amid broader conflict involving Iran-aligned forces and could draw increased U.S. involvement, with the Houthis warning Washington against intervention.
