Three killed in Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia's airports, officials say

Three people were killed in attacks on airports in Saudi Arabia, officials said, with Yemen's Houthi movement claiming responsibility for the strikes.

The attacks mark an escalation in the long-running conflict between the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition that has been involved in Yemen's civil war, according to the report. Officials did not immediately provide further details on the exact locations affected or the circumstances of the deaths.

The Houthis have carried out repeated missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabian territory in recent years, and have frequently claimed responsibility for such strikes as part of their stated campaign against the coalition.

Saudi authorities are expected to respond to the escalation, though no official statement on retaliatory measures or security steps had been reported at the time of writing.

The incident is likely to draw renewed international attention to the conflict and to the safety of civilian aviation infrastructure in the region.
