On Sunday, the Houthi rebels and Saudi Arabia intensified their conflict by exchanging strikes on each other’s airports. The Houthis attacked King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh for a second consecutive day, causing damage and civilian injuries, while Saudi Arabia responded with airstrikes on Sanaa International Airport in Yemen. This exchange followed Saturday's deadly attack by the Houthis that killed 13 people, including an American citizen, and injured over 300 others at the same airport in Riyadh.

Story summary
President Donald Trump suggested that the United States might join Saudi Arabia's military campaign against the Houthi rebels in Yemen following a missile attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. The attack, which struck on Saturday (Riyadh time), killed at least 12 people and injured over 309 others, including an American citizen and citizens from several other countries. This assault marks a significant escalation in the conflict between Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels and Saudi Arabia, intensifying pressure on the U.S. to consider military intervention against the rebels. The attack also prompted Saudi Arabia to extend airport closures and move schools online due to ongoing threats of further attacks from the Houthis.
