伊朗支持的胡塞武装对沙特阿拉伯发动密集军事行动，已连续三天对首都利雅得发动导弹攻击14。袭击目标包括机场和石油设施1。其中，胡塞武装对利雅得国王哈立德国际机场的袭击造成至少13人死亡2，这是该国十多年来最致命的袭击。最近几天的整个冲突中，至少有18人被杀，超过300人受伤2。
沙特防御系统暴露严重漏洞。沙特的防空预警系统在致命的机场袭击前保持沉默14，未能有效拦截来袭武器3。据报道，沙特已于9月29日停止发布防空警报，政府称这是因为市民抱怨被警报声吵醒2。
这轮冲突中，沙特也在反击。沙特对也门境内的卡马兰岛、卡纳维斯和焦夫地区发动空袭2。胡塞武装方面表示，若美国参与军事行动，将以美国在该地区的利益为目标2。
攻击已对沙特经济造成严重影响。国际货币基金组织估计沙特GDP因此将收缩3.3%2。在安全压力加大的背景下，特朗普政府正在考虑加强美国在也门的参与1，并考虑加入对胡塞武装的作战2。
Iran-backed Houthi forces have launched a sustained barrage of missile attacks on Saudi Arabia, targeting the capital Riyadh and critical infrastructure including airports and oil facilities over a three-day period.14 The militant group struck King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, resulting in at least 13 deaths in what represents one of the deadliest attacks on the kingdom in over a decade.2 More recent strikes across the region have caused at least 18 deaths and injured over 300 people.2
Saudi Arabia's air defense systems have failed to prevent the attacks, with the kingdom's warning systems remaining silent ahead of the lethal airport strike.34 According to reports, Saudi authorities ceased issuing public air defense alerts on September 29, citing public complaints about the noise from the sirens.2 The escalating violence has prompted the Trump administration to consider deepening US military involvement against the Houthis in Yemen.12 Trump indicated on Saturday he was considering joining military operations against the group.2
Houthi representatives have warned that any direct American military intervention would make US interests in the region a target for their attacks.2 Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has conducted retaliatory air strikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, including Kamaran Island, Canavish, and Jawf regions, following attacks the militants claim occurred on October 13.2 The strikes have also had severe economic implications, with the International Monetary Fund estimating that Saudi GDP will contract by 3.3 percent as a result of the violence.2
