Flights to and from Saudi Arabia’s Abha International Airport were disrupted on Tuesday after Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed a missile and drone attack on the airport, prompting several airlines, including flydubai, Saudia, flynas and Flyadeal, to cancel services.

Iran responded by attacking US allies in the region, effectively collapsing a temporary arrangement aimed at easing hostilities and ensuring safe passage through …
