Houthi attacks on Riyadh airport heightens escalation risk as Trump weighs involvement
Air travellers are being warned to avoid Saudi Arabia’s airports as tensions escalate across the Middle East.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels have threatened further attacks on aviation facilities, excluding those in Mecca and Medina.
The warning follows a deadly strike at Riyadh’s international airport, which killed 12 people and injured more than 300.
Australian citizens in the Saudi capital have also been advised to shelter indoors as the security situation deteriorates.
