Missile hits Riyadh's main airport; Trump says U.S. "may" join Saudi strikes on the Houthis
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.
