> Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia are putting Riyadh’s regional and religious standing, as well as its economic ambitions, at risk. The Houthis struck Aramco’s headquarters in Dhahran and threatened further attacks on airports and oil facilities. After an earlier attack at Riyadh airport killed more than a dozen people and injured over 300, airlines, tourism and investment have faced disruption and uncertainty.
