A missile struck the complex housing Terminals 3 and 4 at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Saturday, injuring dozens, and Saudi aviation authorities suspended operations there, TIME reported; FlightAware showed 400 cancellations. Airport attacks over the past week have killed at least six people, and the Houthis claimed earlier strikes but had not immediately claimed Saturday's. Asked about joining Saudi strikes on the Iran-backed militia, President Trump told reporters "we may," and the U.S. Embassy warned Americans to avoid the airport.
Russian attacks killed at least 24 people and injured 47 across Ukraine over the past day, including at least 20 killed, three of them children, by guided aerial bombs in Zaporizhzhia, where 26 residential buildings were damaged, the Kyiv Independent reported citing Ukraine's State Emergency Service. An afternoon missile attack on Kyiv injured at least seven people in the Obolon district after a morning drone strike on energy facilities, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. This updates our morning report of at least 15 dead.
President Trump told reporters outside the White House on Saturday that Volodymyr Zelensky "wants to make problems for the world" by authorizing strikes on Russian oil refineries, saying "He'd better damn well stop" and that Ukraine should "get a new leader who can make a deal," the BBC reported. The remarks followed Zelensky's criticism of Trump's deal suspending sanctions on Russian diesel exports until April 7. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said European ministers intend to approve their biggest Russia sanctions package of the war on Monday.
President Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to revive his lawsuit accusing Hillary Clinton, former FBI Director James Comey and others of conspiring to link his 2016 campaign to Russia, Reuters reported. U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks dismissed the suit and ordered Trump and attorney Alina Habba to pay nearly $1 million in fees and costs, and the 11th Circuit upheld both in 2025. Trump's lawyers argue the filing deadline should have been extended because he deferred suing during his first term, writing that the Court's intervention "is necessary to protect the presidency." The Court returns to the bench Tuesday, Oct. 13.
