                                Yemen's Houthis have claimed responsibility for attacks on Riyadh's international airport on Sunday, which the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority reported as having caused injuries. The attacks follow Saturday’s strike on the civilian airport which killed at least 12, constituting the deadliest on Saudi soil in more than a decade. Read our blog to see how the day's events unfolded.
