Houthi Strikes Shut Saudi Airports as Yemen War Restarts

What it means

Houthi missile and drone attacks on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport have killed 14 people and shut Saudi airports, while the Saudi-led coalition has launched a full-scale campaign to eliminate the Houthis in Yemen.

Why it matters

Iran's security chief Mohsen Rezaei names the Strait of Hormuz oil shuttle a target, and Houthi strikes have already hit areas housing Saudi oil and gas facilities, while the Saudi-led coalition intercepts missiles over Riyadh.

How it affects you

Fatal strikes have closed Saudi airports, an unnamed carrier delayed its Riyadh flight launch to March, and an Al-Nassr match was delayed an hour after a missile toward Riyadh was intercepted.
