00:00Repeated Houthi strikes on Riyadh are exposing a growing security challenge for Saudi Arabia.
00:05King Khalid International Airport, one of the kingdom's major aviation hubs,
00:08has reportedly been targeted three times in a single week.
00:11Reports cite 12 dead and 309 injured,
00:15while earlier attacks allegedly damaged a Saudi passenger aircraft.
00:18Houthis described their campaign as retaliation for Saudi-backed military operations in Yemen,
00:23but the strategic message is clear.
00:25The conflict is no longer contained to Yemen's battlefield.
00:28Its consequences are reaching deep into Saudi territory.
00:32Repeated strikes threaten aviation, critical infrastructure,
00:35and public confidence in the kingdom's defenses.
00:38Riyadh is now seeking regional support,
00:40and Mecca Defense Pack is activated,
00:42raising the possibility that more countries could become involved.
00:46The central question is no longer just how Saudi Arabia will respond.
00:50It is whether a wider military campaign will contain the threat or expand the war.
00:54Because when strategic targets come under repeated attack,
00:57the consequences rarely stop at the border.
