Houthis claim missile strike on Riyadh airport as explosions heard in Saudi capital

Yemen's Houthis said on Thursday they targeted King ​Khalid ​International Airport in the Saudi capital Riyadh with a ballistic missile. There was no immediate confirmation of the strike or any damage or casualties from Saudi Arabia at this time. Several explosions echoed across Riyadh on Thursday, according to witnesses. Diplomats were instructed to shelter in place in their respective embassies, as witnesses said international schools were also taking precautions. An earlier drone attack on the same airport killed one person, with another two killed in a separate strike on the airport in the southwestern city of Abha, Riyadh said on Thursday, as flight delays continued into the second day.
