New drone and missile attacks have hit Saudi Arabia, including locations near King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, raising concerns about airspace disruptions, energy supplies and broader market risk.

Saudi authorities are tracking the threats and responding as hostilities intensify. Potential airspace closures could affect regional stability and disrupt travel through a key aviation and energy hub.

The escalation follows the breakdown of a truce in July, which has been followed by heightened military tensions in the region. Further attacks on major airports or direct military action involving Saudi forces could increase pressure for airspace restrictions.

Saudi aviation authorities and air-navigation officials are expected to be central to any decision on the status of the country’s airspace.
