Two strikes on the international airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital, have killed 14 people and injured more than 300. CCTV inside the terminal shows people taking cover when one of the missiles hit on Saturday.
The Houthis in Yemen claimed responsibility for the attacks. The group said it used ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones.
Attacks on airports and oil facilities
The group also attacked oil facilities and Dammam airport in eastern Saudi Arabia, according to its military spokesman, Brig Gen Yahya Saree.
The Houthis warned airlines and passengers against using Saudi airports and airspace. Saree said all Saudi airports could be targets except those in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
The strikes followed a series of other attacks earlier in the week. The supplied material does not provide further details about those incidents.
