Houthis Hit Riyadh Airport, Saudi Energy Sites in Four Attacks in 24 Hours

The renewed targeting of both an international airport and energy infrastructure in the same 24-hour window signals the Houthis are willing to pair symbolic civilian targets with economically sensitive ones, raising the stakes for Riyadh beyond a single headline strike. The coalition's pledge of a firm response suggests the exchange is entering a more retaliatory phase rather than de-escalating. Whether this hardens into sustained tit-for-tat strikes on energy assets, and how that feeds into regional risk sentiment, is the open question.
