Yemen's Houthis launch new attacks on Saudi Arabia after accusing the kingdom of strikes that killed 17

On October 24, Yemen's Houthis intensified attacks on Saudi Arabia and the Yemeni government, claiming retaliation for previous strikes that killed 17. They targeted multiple Saudi airports and military installations, including Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport. The Houthis denied targeting Mecca and Medina, despite Saudi claims of intercepted missiles. The conflict, which had seen a ceasefire since 2022, escalated after a breakdown in truce this summer, with the Houthis launching a maritime blockade and attacking Saudi oil infrastructure. The US has updated travel advisories due to increased threats from the Houthis, while Egypt and European nations have offered military support to Saudi Arabia.
