 Photo by NASA on Unsplash A missile strike on Riyadh’s main airport killed at least 12 people and injured roughly 300, according to BBC, with the Houthis blamed and governments quickly condemning the attack, as Al Jazeera reports. This matters because it marks a sharp escalation from pressure on border areas or energy sites to a mass-casualty hit on a major civilian transport hub in the Saudi capital. In the wider trend of regional spillover from Middle East conflicts, the strike shows how armed groups are increasingly able to disrupt core infrastructure far from the front line, raising the risk of broader military retaliation and deeper shocks to aviation, commerce, and regional stability.
