The attack marks a major escalation in the conflict involving Yemen’s Houthi movement and Saudi Arabia, with the capital’s main airport targeted repeatedly. Authorities have suspended or disrupted airport operations, while the Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted another ballistic missile aimed at southwestern Saudi Arabia. The strikes come amid wider regional instability, including reported Iranian maritime threats and continuing conflict across Gaza and Ukraine.
