UN human rights chief Volker Turk on Tuesday called on Saudi Arabia and Yemen to "prevent a new catastrophe" after the attack on Riyadh airport, saying continued fighting would only cause "more suffering". Saudi Arabia has vowed a "serious" response after a series of attacks last week by Yemen's Houthis on King Khalid International Airport, which killed 18 people and rocked the world's top oil exporter.
"I am shocked by the repeated attacks in recent days by the Houthis against airports in Saudi Arabia, which have caused the deaths of dozens of civilians," Volker Türk said.
