Trump said Ukraine and Russia had agreed to an immediate energy ceasefire, but Zelenskyy said the announcement was news to him and that Kyiv would accept the deal if Putin did too.

Houthi spokesman Yahya Saria said the group carried out four operations in the past 24 hours, targeting Saudi Aramco facilities in eastern Saudi Arabia and airports in Riyadh and Dammam. He said navigation was suspended at both airports and Riyadh airport was fully closed. Saudi authorities said the October 10 Riyadh airport attack killed 12 people and wounded 309. Saria said the strikes responded to 124 Saudi-led coalition airstrikes on Yemen the previous day.

Saudi Arabia accused Yemen’s Houthis of killing 12 people and injuring 300 in Saturday’s attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. Al Jazeera’s Mohammad Saleh examines whether this marks a major escalation in the conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis.

Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation said King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh was attacked again on October 11, leaving several people wounded. Damage assessment and security checks are ongoing. A Saudi-led coalition spokesman earlier said an unidentified projectile hit the passenger terminal and caused a fire. A Houthi spokesman said the group had targeted airports in Riyadh and Dammam, as well as Saudi Aramco facilities.

Saudi officials said a projectile struck Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport on Sunday, starting a fire in a passenger hall and causing injuries. The airport was hit the previous day, killing at least 13 and injuring 308. Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed responsibility and warned airlines and passengers against using Saudi airports and airspace.

AFP, citing its correspondent in Saudi Arabia, reported that an explosion was heard in Riyadh. It came a day after a Houthi missile attack on Riyadh International Airport that Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation said killed 12 people and injured 309. The airport is expected to remain closed until at least late Sunday.

Repeated Houthi attacks on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport have exposed the limits of even advanced air defences. A Saturday attack killed 12 people and wounded 309, the deadliest in Saudi Arabia in more than a decade. The Houthis combine missiles and drones, while Saudi forces have intercepted some projectiles but failed to stop the one that struck the airport.

The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen vowed a firm response after a suspected Houthi missile strike on Riyadh airport killed 12 people and injured more than 300. The Houthis warned people to stay away from Saudi airports, while Donald Trump said the US was considering joining the military campaign against them.

The Houthis have intensified attacks inside Saudi Arabia, with the latest strike hitting Riyadh’s main airport and apparently penetrating Saudi air defences. The physical damage may be repaired quickly, but the attack is battering the kingdom’s image as a stable safe haven. Houthi moves around the Red Sea coast and Bab al-Mandeb are also raising risks to shipping, amid wider tensions involving Iran, the US and Israel.
