The Aporia
On October 7, three people were killed in attacks on two airports in Saudi Arabia: Abha International Airport and King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. The civil aviation authority reported that an Egyptian and Algerian national died at Abha airport while a Sudanese national was killed in Riyadh. Additionally, 36 individuals were injured in these incidents. Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for firing missiles at both airports as part of their ongoing conflict with the Saudi-led coalition supporting Yemen’s government. In response to the attacks, the Saudi-led coalition stated they had intercepted a missile launched towards Riyadh and destroyed its launch platform. The assaults mark an escalation in hostilities spilling over from neighboring Yemen into Saudi territory.
