What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Earlier this month, the Kingdom was struck by its deadliest attack in a decade when a projectile hit King Khalid International Airport, killing 13 and injuring hundreds.
The UK will also send military advisers and an Atlas A400M military transport aircraft to help move equipment.
The Houthis are locked in a civil war with Yemen's internationally recognised government, which is backed by Saudi Arabia.
