Houthis attack Riyadh airport and Saudi cities as Saudi coalition intercepts missiles

Updated

The Houthis claimed a new strike on Riyadh's King Khalid airport on October 25, hours after flights resumed following a two-week closure, and the Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted a ballistic missile aimed at the capital. The coalition also said it destroyed two missile launchers in Sanaa, one allegedly used to fire toward Riyadh. Yemen's government condemned Houthi missiles toward Mecca and Medina and attacks that injured civilians in Khamis Mushait. The Dakar rally dropped Saudi Arabia for 2027 over regional developments, and Pope Leo appealed for an end to violence in Yemen, citing the siege of Taiz.
