Saudi Arabia's Riyadh airport hit by second Houthi strike in two days
Yemen's Houthi rebels have escalated attacks on Saudi airports, killing at least 12 people and wounding hundreds in a major strike on Riyadh airport on Saturday. The Iran-backed group has conducted multiple attacks on Saudi airports this week, including strikes that killed three people earlier and damaged aircraft. The attacks follow Saudi-led military operations that recaptured areas around a key strait from the Houthis. The conflict in Yemen is increasingly spilling into Saudi Arabia, prompting some airlines to suspend flights to the capital.
