Summary

Saudi authorities said a Houthi missile strike Saturday on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh killed 12 people, including a US citizen, and injured more than 300. The dead also included four Saudis, two Bangladeshis, a Palestinian, an Egyptian, a Jordanian, a Syrian and a Sudanese; some wounded were in critical condition. It was the latest of several attacks on the airport in the past week. President Trump, asked whether Washington would help Saudi Arabia retaliate, left the door open.
