What to know
- Saudi Arabia confirmed three deaths from Houthi missile strikes on its airports, the first fatalities reported in this round of escalation.
- Houthis have struck Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport three times, plus an Aramco facility, Najran and Jizan airports, Khamis Mushait airbase, and Aden's airport within about a week.
- Lufthansa, Air India and several other carriers have suspended or cancelled Riyadh flights, signaling the conflict's spillover into international aviation.
- Saudi Arabia's ground offensive against the Houthis is proceeding without direct US combat involvement, and Syria is weighing whether to contribute troops.

Saudi Arabia's military and the Yemeni government it backs are weak, corrupt or structurally hobbled, making the offensive unlikely to succeed.
