Yemen’s Houthi rebels renewed their warning to airlines, travelers, and workers to avoid Saudi airports after an Oct 10 attack in Riyadh killed 12 people and injured over 300 others. This latest attack is part of escalating conflict between the Iran-backed Houthis and Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces, with Saudi Arabia increasing its military involvement by launching airstrikes against Houthi targets. Meanwhile, a major international energy conference scheduled for Oct 11 in Riyadh proceeded despite security concerns, with unclear attendance details due to safety worries.

Story summary
On October 7, Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for attacks on two airports in Saudi Arabia, including King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and Abha International Airport, resulting in the deaths of three people and injuries to at least 36 others. An Egyptian and an Algerian national were killed at Abha, while a Sudanese person died at King Khalid airport. The Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Houthis said it intercepted one missile north of Riyadh and destroyed its launch platform near Sana'a, Yemen's capital. These attacks are part of escalating tensions between Iran-backed Houthi rebels and the Saudi government, which supports Yemen’s internationally recognized government.
