Houthis strike Riyadh airport hours after reopening, also hit air and naval bases

The timing is the story: a strike on Riyadh's main airport within hours of its reopening signals that the Houthis can still reach high-value civilian infrastructure despite any lull implied by the restart. This matters most for Gulf carriers, insurers and businesses that had begun treating Saudi airspace and airport operations as normalizing. The absence of damage or casualty details leaves the practical impact unclear, and whether the reopening holds or flights are disrupted again is the open question.
