Saudi Arabia’s vast hub north of Riyadh, linked to global air traffic and royal connectivity
Saudi Arabia faces renewed Houthi attacks as regional tensions rise. Alerts were lifted after a wave of missiles and drones targeted sites in the south and Red Sea, prompting international calls for de-escalation. Saudi authorities say they will defend sovereignty and critical infrastructure while pursuing diplomatic channels.
Explosions and a burning Aramco fuel tank near Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport have prompted the first air-raid alerts in the capital since the Yemen conflict escalated. Flight disruptions and major problems at the airport follow overnight warnings to residents, with the UN calling for action amid civilian displacement.
