Houthi rebels have intensified attacks on Saudi Arabian airports and energy facilities, resulting in casualties and damage. The Saudi-led coalition has vowed a firm response as the conflict continues to escalate.
Why it matters
The ongoing conflict threatens regional security and global energy supply chains, particularly involving Saudi Aramco facilities.
Fighting between Yemen's Houthis group and the Saudi-led coalition showed no sign of easing on Sunday, as fresh attacks hit major airports in Saudi Arabia, while the Houthi group claimed new missile and drone operations against Saudi airports and energy facilities and the coalition vowed a firm response.
Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) said Sunday that a new attack on King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital Riyadh killed a Pakistani resident, and injured 11 others.
Earlier in the day, the Saudi-led coalition said an unknown projectile had struck a passenger terminal at the airport, and a fire caused by the attack was being handled at the site.
