> EgyptAir halted flights from Cairo and Alexandria to Riyadh after King Khalid International Airport was temporarily closed, saying it was coordinating with Saudi aviation authorities and would resume service when operations restart. Eligible passengers can change to another direct Saudi destination without extra charges or seek fee-free refunds. The move follows attacks on Saudi airports amid escalating Houthi missile strikes; two attacks on the airport last week killed four people. No group claimed Saturday’s attack.
