Saudia Jet Burns at Riyadh Airport After Claimed Houthi Missile Strike

A parked Saudia jet burned heavily at Riyadh's King Khalid Airport Thursday. Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis claimed a ballistic-missile strike — a long-range guided weapon. Three sources told Reuters shrapnel from an interception or another projectile sparked the blaze; no passengers were believed aboard. Saudi Arabia did not comment, and the Houthis gave no evidence. Airlines face tougher safety calls.
