Explosions are reported in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with witnesses describing multiple blasts on Thursday. The incidents occur amid heightened concerns about attacks on key infrastructure, including airports and oil-related facilities, according to local reporting.

The New York Times reports that the cause of Thursday’s blasts remains unclear, while Saudi authorities had said earlier that Houthi strikes on two airports killed three people in the day before. Euronews adds that the Houthis claim a missile strike on Riyadh airport, and notes that a prior drone attack on the same airport left one person dead and caused flight delays that continued into Thursday. Legit.ng similarly links the unrest to Houthi attacks and emphasizes threats to airports and oil facilities. Outlets differ mainly on the immediacy and attribution of Thursday’s explosions—ranging from unclear causes to Houthi claims—while broadly agreeing on the attacks’ impact on airport operations.
