On Saturday, Yemen's Houthi forces launched a fresh volley of ballistic missiles targeting King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, resulting in mass casualties and a complete evacuation of the major aviation hub. Flight tracking data from Flightradar24 showed that arrivals were canceled throughout Saturday, with airborne flights diverted to alternative cities. According to Saudi officials and reports from The Wall Street Journal, Terminal 3 sustained a direct missile hit, prompting a massive emergency deployment of dozens of ambulances and helicopters to transport the wounded to King Fahad Hospital. This attack follows a deadly strike on Thursday that killed three people, including a pilot. In response to the escalating violence, governments including the United States, Canada, Germany, France, and Ireland have intensified travel warnings, advising citizens against flying into or out of Riyadh.

The Houthi missile strike on the Saudi airport directly hit the terminal and led to the complete cancellation of flights, delivering an immediate blow to the aviation and transportation sectors. Heightened tensions in the Middle East are fueling concerns over supply chain disruptions, stimulating safe-haven demand.
If the geopolitical conflict prolongs, rising oil prices and increased logistics costs due to oil supply instability are expected. Future key indicators to monitor include potential additional military clashes, international community responses, and trends in international oil price fluctuations.
