Passenger terminal at Riyadh airport is struck again, a day after 12 were killed
The attack came after a missile strike killed 12 people and wounded more than 300, and Saudi authorities kept the airport closed.
- On Sunday, the Saudi-led coalition said an "unidentified projectile" targeted Terminal 4 at Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport, appearing to strike the same complex housing domestic flight terminals.
- Saturday's missile attack on King Khalid International Airport killed at least 12 people and wounded more than 300 others, marking the third deadly strike at the facility in a single week.
- Gen. Yahya Saree, the Houthi military spokesperson, warned "all airlines, experts, employees, workers and travellers against using Saudi airports and airspace, as they are vulnerable to attack and have become a theatre of operations for our forces."
- President Donald Trump said he is evaluating whether the American government should join Saudi strikes against the rebels, stating "We're going to look at it" as the escalation threatens deeper U.S. military involvement.
- Saudi Arabia is reportedly running low on missile interceptors and has requested air defense support from France, Britain, Pakistan, and Egypt; both Trump and Iran insist the seven-month-old conflict remains unaffected by the election calendar.
