Houthi missiles target Saudi Arabia as Riyadh airport reopens
The Saudi-led coalition said it downed a ballistic missile aimed at Riyadh and two drones early Sunday, as Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport prepared to reopen after a two-week closure caused by Houthi strikes. Saudi civil defence reported falling debris in the Mecca and Medina regions Saturday after two Houthi missiles were intercepted. This week the U.S. ordered non-emergency government staff and families to leave Saudi Arabia and updated travel advisories for 13 Middle East countries.
