Riyadh airport hit by second Houthi strike in two days

Today

Available for over a year

Saudi officials say one person has been killed and 11 others injured in the latest attack on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport by the Iran-backed Houthi group in Yemen. The strike came a day after the same airport was targeted, in the deadliest attack on Saudi soil in more than a decade, in which 13 people died and several hundred others were wounded. The British embassy in Saudi Arabia has advised against all but essential travel to the cities of Jeddah and Dammam, and to almost all airports in the Kingdom.
