Yemen-based Houthi militants launched an attack on Riyadh airport on Saturday, killing at least 12 people and injuring about 300, according to Saudi authorities who listed the nationalities of the deceased.
The UK Defence Secretary said the strike on a civilian target "can't possibly be justified in any circumstances" and confirmed the UK is not currently planning military action against the Houthis, while continuing to provide air-to-air refuelling support to Saudi Arabia; the main international airport in Saudi Arabia has been closed since the attack, and the Houthi-run Health Ministry reported that Saudi-led coalition operations have killed 91 Yemenis and injured 168 in five weeks, with 60% of those killed being women and children.
