Riyadh airport closed after Houthi strikes kill 13
Officials in Saudi Arabia extended the closure of Riyadh’s airport after Houthi strikes over the weekend killed at least 13 people and injured hundreds more.
Security camera footage shows the moment that missiles and drones struck King Khalid International Airport. The Iran-backed Houthi rebels have repeatedly targeted the facility during the past week.
Saudi officials are reportedly investigating how their defense systems failed to stop the strikes.
Meantime in Yemen, Saudi-backed forces released video Monday claiming to show fighting with Houthi troops to the east of the capital, Sanaa. The latest uptick in violence comes as the Saudis are seeking more U.S. involvement in the ongoing conflict.
