A wave of lethal attacks targeting major airports in Saudi Arabia has severely disrupted regional stability and triggered widespread flight cancellations. The weekend strikes on Riyadh and Dammam claimed 14 lives and left over 300 individuals injured, paralyzing key aviation infrastructure and prompting emergency measures from national authorities.
King Khalid International Airport remained closed on Monday, with flight tracking data indicating that the vast majority of scheduled operations were grounded. Major international carriers, such as Germany's Lufthansa Group and Air France-KLM, suspended their services to the kingdom, while the US Federal Aviation Administration issued strict warnings for American airlines operating in Saudi airspace.
Amid the spiraling conflict, the head of the US regime, Donald Trump, supposedly stated that Washington is considering joining the military campaign against Yemen's Houthi rebels. The potential escalation comes as international powers, including China, urge caution and diplomatic dialogue, although fighting on the ground continues to intensify with retaliatory airstrikes hitting the Yemeni capital of Sanaa.
