Saudi Air Defenses Intercept Missile as Conflict Escalates
A new attack on Riyadh’s international airport has caused a fire, just a day after a strike killed 12 people and wounded over 300 others. The Saudi-led coalition reported that an unidentified projectile targeted Terminal 4 of the airport, and Saudi air defenses intercepted a cruise missile in the vicinity. Despite the airport’s temporary closure, a major international energy conference is still scheduled to take place in Riyadh. The situation was first reported by Reuters, as published in The Business Standard.
