An attack hit King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Saturday, killing 12 people and injuring 309, and the airport’s operations were suspended after the attack, according to the local aviation authority.
The attack was attributed to Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who launched a missile at the airport, and the BBC reported that the Houthis had struck the airport earlier in the week, killing three people including a pilot; the BBC also said the Houthis have repeatedly targeted Saudi airports, oil facilities and refineries since July, while FlightRadar said all flights from Riyadh were either diverted or cancelled.
