Houthi strikes on Riyadh airport killed three Saudis as war escalates

Thursday's attacks on Riyadh airport killed ​three people, Saudi authorities said on Friday, as Yemen's Houthi group stepped up missile strikes on the kingdom and tried to shut down its airspace in an escalating war triggered by the US-Iran conflict. The strikes, which also injured several people, damaged a Saudia Airlines ​plane and sent ‌smoke billowing over the airport, led many airlines to cancel flights to the Saudi capital ⁠days before it is due to host a major meeting of global oil chiefs.
