Summary

Saudi authorities said missile strikes by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels killed three people, including a pilot, at Riyadh's international airport on Thursday, with others injured. The attacks mark an escalation in fighting between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, which backs Yemen's government. Separately, the U.S. Treasury sanctioned 17 tankers it says make up Iran's remaining "shadow fleet."
