> The Houthis have intensified attacks inside Saudi Arabia, with the latest strike hitting Riyadh’s main airport and apparently penetrating Saudi air defences. The physical damage may be repaired quickly, but the attack is battering the kingdom’s image as a stable safe haven. Houthi moves around the Red Sea coast and Bab al-Mandeb are also raising risks to shipping, amid wider tensions involving Iran, the US and Israel.
