Ansarallah Attack on Riyadh Airport Kills 12 People

Ansarallah forces carried out a third attack on Riyadh International Airport on Saturday, killing 12 people, mostly civilians, and injuring more than 300. The strike is part of a wider strategy by the Yemeni group to target Saudi energy and economic infrastructure.

While the military conflict persists, reports indicate that Saudi-led Coalition air strikes have killed nearly 15,000 Yemeni civilians as of September 2025. Internally, Muhammad bin Salman faces increasing instability resulting from his centralization of power and the seizure of tribal lands for Vision 2030 projects. These actions have alienated the Wahhabi religious establishment and traditional tribal structures.

This internal friction has led to reports of tribal realignments. Rumors suggest Saudi tribes are negotiating a new political compact with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to establish a federal state with shared oil revenues.
