Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport has been targeted again, with the Houthi group claiming responsibility for the latest strike. This follows a projectile attack over the weekend, underscoring the ongoing volatility of the conflict in Yemen and its regional spillover effects. The Houthis also claimed that Saudi aircraft struck the airport in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, highlighting reciprocal escalations.
In a separate incident, dozens of gold prospectors were reportedly killed in strikes near the Egypt-Sudan border. Neither Egypt nor Sudan has yet commented on the alleged attacks on the artisanal mining camp, which occurred on Saturday. These events underscore the complex and often violent geopolitical landscape in the region.
