Saudi Coalition Reports 20 Houthi Attacks on Riyadh Airport

The Saudi-led coalition said Houthi forces attempted attacks on multiple Saudi facilities, including airports and oil infrastructure, as 20 attacks targeted Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport this month. The escalation raises aviation-security concerns and the possibility of a Saudi airspace closure. The escalation has resulted in multiple casualties and injuries. Attacks on oil sites add an energy-security dimension, while airport targeting puts aviation security in focus. Prediction-market contracts put the chance of a Saudi airspace closure at 5.5% for Nov. 1, 2026, and 16.5% for Jan. 1, 2027. The nearer contract showed little movement, while the longer-dated contract reflected a higher probability. Those prices indicate expectations around a possible closure; they do not establish a Saudi government plan.
