Saudi Arabia blames Houthis for major airport attack | DW News
Details
At least 12 people are dead and more than 300 injured in a major attack on Riyadh's international airport. It is one of several attacks on the facility in recent days. Although no group has claimed responsibility, Saudi Arabia is blaming Yemen's Houthis. The recent spate of deadly strikes by the Houthis has exposed vulnerabilities in Saudi Arabia's ability to defend itself as it backs the Yemeni government against the Iran-backed rebels. We ask Yemen researcher Hannah Porter for her assessment.
