The strikes targeted King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and Abha International Airport in southern Saudi Arabia, causing civilian casualties and raising concerns about further disruption to regional air travel and energy infrastructure. The attacks come as tensions deepen across the Middle East, with reports of intensified confrontation involving Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen’s Houthis, and allied forces. Saudi officials said those killed included two women at Abha and a Sudanese man in Riyadh; the incident remains developing, and the scale of damage and possible international response may change as authorities investigate.
