The Houthi campaign against Saudi airports
The Houthi campaign against Saudi airports and oil facilities is ongoing, with the latest strike hitting Riyadh's main airport just hours after flights there had resumed; the Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted the missile involved. The broader offensive has killed at least 17 people, including an American and two at an airport in eastern Saudi Arabia, and wounded over 300. Saudi Arabia has postponed major sporting events over the attacks, and the UK has pledged to deploy jets to help defend Saudi airspace, while President Trump weighs further action against the Houthis.
