Statecraft | Houthi Strikes Hit Riyadh Airport As Conflict Widens: Will Donald Trump Step In?

A special report on Statecraft examines the severe escalation in West Asia following repeated missile and projectile strikes on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport. The attacks, claimed by Yemen's Houthis, targeted passenger terminals, causing a major fire, killing 13 people, and leaving over 300 injured. Among the casualties, an Indian national from Hyderabad, Mohammed Yusuf, succumbed to injuries sustained while traveling for Umrah, while three other Indian citizens remained in intensive care. Aviation operations witnessed major disruptions, with flight capacity cut by 60 percent. Panelists analyzed the regional fallout, discussing whether Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's push for United States military intervention could materialize and jeopardize maritime choke points like Bab el-Mandeb and the Suez Canal. Additionally, the programme addressed the Russia-Ukraine conflict following US President Donald Trump's announcement of an energy ceasefire and Washington's plan to import Russian diesel, prompting questions regarding Western sanctions policies. #RiyadhAirport #HouthiAttack #KingKhalidAirport #SaudiArabia #Statecraft #GauravSawant #YemenWar #RedSeaCrisis #MiddleEastConflict #RussiaUkraineWar #EnergyCeasefire #DonaldTrump #IndiaToday #AviationSecurity #Geopolitics Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
