At least 14 people were killed in Saudi Arabia after attacks targeted multiple airports, marking the country’s deadliest violence since the Iran conflict began and raising risks for regional aviation.

The Houthi movement, aligned with Iran, claimed the strikes. King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and King Fahd International Airport in Dammam were among the facilities hit, prompting the suspension of operations at affected airports.

The attacks represent an escalation from isolated incidents to sustained strikes against civilian infrastructure. Saudi authorities confirmed additional targeting and pledged a response.

Further developments will depend on announcements about airspace restrictions and airport operations. Any additional attacks or response measures could affect regional stability and international flight networks.
