The pro‑Iranian Houthi militia launched a ballistic missile at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, killing three people and injuring 36 others.

Houthi spokesman Jahja Saree said the missile hit its target precisely, disrupted airport operations and warned all international airlines to cease flights through Saudi airspace, while the Saudi‑Arabian military coalition said it retaliated by striking 82 legitimate military targets, including missile facilities and command centres.
