Third Riyadh airport attack, Houthis warn
This was the third reported attack on Riyadh's airport in just a week, showing how things are heating up between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis as regional conflicts spill over.
The Houthis have warned against using Saudi airspace (except for Mecca and Medina) and say more strikes could come if Saudi military action in Yemen continues.
Meanwhile, US President Trump is considering stepping in to support Saudi operations.
