Several people were injured in a fresh attack at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, and the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority suspended airport operations, BBC News reported. The U.S. Embassy said it was aware of attacks on the airport and advised U.S. citizens to avoid the airport and surrounding area.
Why it matters
The suspension disrupts commercial air travel at Saudi Arabia's main capital airport and adds an immediate civilian-aviation impact to the Yemen-Saudi escalation.
