Smoke and Fire Near Riyadh Airport Amid Houthi Attacks

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
This attack on a major airport and oil facility shows Houthi rebels are now targeting Saudi Arabia's economic and transportation hubs, not just border areas.
💡 Why it matters
Disruptions at Riyadh airport and threats to oil facilities in Yanbu could impact global oil prices and regional air travel, escalating a conflict that has already caused a humanitarian crisis in Yemen.

Thick black smoke and flames from a burning Aramco fuel tank were seen near King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Saturday, causing hours of flight disruptions. The incident follows air raid alerts across Saudi Arabia, including warnings for Jeddah and Yanbu.
