At least 13 killed as Houthis strike Riyadh airport twice over weekend

Fresh strikes hit Riyadh and Yemen’s capital on Sunday, escalating tensions a day after Iran-backed Houthi militants launched a devastating attack on the airport in Saudi Arabia's capital—the deadliest assault on the kingdom in more than a decade.

A missile struck the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Saturday, killing 12, including one American, and injuring over 300.

Sunday’s attack killed at least one person and wounded several others, despite the airport already being closed.

Assaults on Saudi airports, military sites and oil facilities have intensified since a Saudi-led coalition launched its campaign against the Iran-backed Houthis last week.
