Houthis launch missile attacks on Riyadh airport, killing three

Yemen's Houthi group fired a ballistic missile at Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport on Thursday, killing at least three people. The missile hit Terminal 3 directly, and staff evacuated the building. A Saudia Airlines plane was damaged in the strike. Black smoke rose from a fuel storage area and from a parked aircraft. At least three Saudi nationals died, including a pilot. Several other people were injured. Airlines cancelled flights to Riyadh after the attack disrupted normal operations. The Houthis, who are backed by Iran and control parts of Yemen, said the missile reached its target. Earlier attacks on two Saudi airports on October 6 and 7 killed three civilians and injured 36 others. Saudi Arabia was preparing to host a major international oil meeting when the attack happened.
