Houthi rebels strike Riyadh airport again after deadly attacks

bbc.com —

An attack on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport was reported Saturday, a day after Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed two deadly strikes on the same hub, prompting an evacuation. The airport was evacuated following a loud blast, with over a dozen ambulances rushing to the scene, according to Reuters. Saudi authorities have not commented, and the airport advised passengers to check with airlines. The incident follows Houthi attacks that killed three Saudis, including a pilot, and three others in strikes on two airports earlier this month. The rebels, who control northwest Yemen, say they target Saudi Arabia for supporting government forces in the civil war.
