Houthi ballistic missile strikes targeting King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh have significantly escalated regional tensions following an October 10 attack that resulted in 13 deaths. The casualties included an Indian national who succumbed to injuries the following day.
Representatives for the Houthi movement asserted that the missile strikes were executed in retaliation for ongoing Saudi military actions targeting civilian infrastructure within Yemen. In response, officials in Riyadh strongly denounced the October 10 assault, categorizing the incident as a full-fledged war crime.
