Saudi under siege: Houthis attack airport

Houthi attacks on Riyadh's airport leave Saudi Arabia with no good options as its Vision 2030 investment push faces disruption.

• Escalation at Riyadh airport: Houthis hit Riyadh's airport at least four times in a week, including a Saturday strike that was Saudi Arabia's deadliest attack in over a decade, plus a second Sunday attack.
• Military capability upgrade: Iranian-backed Houthis now have larger drone arsenals and more accurate ballistic missiles, striking Saudi Aramco refineries and killing three people (including a pilot) in a Thursday airport attack that destroyed a Saudi plane.
