> Riyadh’s international airport was hit in a new attack on Sunday, a day after an earlier strike there killed at least 12 people and injured more than 300—the deadliest attack on Saudi soil in over a decade. Fighting between the Iran-backed Houthis and Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces has escalated for several weeks.
