World
Saudi Arabia just stopped missile attacks from Yemen's Houthi rebels aimed at Riyadh and Khamis Mushait.
These strikes are part of ongoing tensions with the Iran-backed group, and locals received quick warnings to stay alert.
Houthi attacks kill at least 18
Recent Houthi attacks, including one on Riyadh's airport, have led to at least 18 deaths and more than 300 injuries.
The violence has shaken up daily routines, forced the capital's main financial district to switch to remote work, and made it tougher for Saudi Arabia to push forward with its economic transformation plans under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The US is backing Saudi efforts with intelligence support as security worries continue to impact major events in the region.
