Saudis Say New Missiles Intercepted After Deadly Airport Attacks
Context
US stock futures rose modestly as traders weighed the prospect of solid results in a busy week for corporate earnings against the risk of escalating tensions in the Middle East. The Saudi-led military coalition fighting the Houthis said it intercepted missiles and drones aimed at the kingdom overnight, including areas that are home to some of Saudi Arabia’s key oil and gas facilities. Over the weekend, Saudi Arabia suffered its deadliest strikes since the Iran war began as Houthi militants repeatedly targeted airports across the kingdom, killing at least 14 people and wounding hundreds.
