Riyadh's international airport hit by missile strikes, and more

[upbeat music] The international airport in Riyadh has once again come under attack.

Officials in Saudi Arabia say a strike has killed one person and injured about a dozen others, and yesterday, attacks on the same airport killed more than a dozen people and injured hundreds.

Yemen's Houthi rebels are claiming responsibility and are warning airlines and passengers to stay away.

Tom Parry is tracking developments for us from Jerusalem.

Video shot in the moments after Saturday's attack show scenes of chaos at the King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.

Passengers rushing through shattered glass and tiles to exit a damaged building.

Outside, ambulances wait to carry away the injured.

A day after the attack, which the Saudis call a war crime, the country's health minister visited some of the survivors in hospital.

As a spokesman for the Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed responsibility.

The attack prompted a cascade of condemnation from world leaders, including US President Donald Trump.

Look, the Saudis are good fighters, but I think the attack was a terrible thing.

Trump suggested his administration could join Saudi Arabia's fight against the Houthis, something it has so far been reluctant to do.

Britain's Defense Secretary Wes Streeting says the UK is open to the idea of increased military support for the Saudis in light of this incident.

What we saw in terms of the attack on the airport in Riyadh was a shocking escalation, actually, hundreds of casualties.

Prime Minister Mark Carney posted his government's message on social media.

"No political or military objective can justify the targeting of innocent people," he wrote.

"Canada condemns these reckless acts of violence in the strongest possible terms." This is just the latest violent flare-up in a long, drawn-out fight between the Saudi regime and Houthi militants.

[gunshots] The kingdom has long backed Yemen's internationally recognized government in its bid to regain control over the country in a fight that has grown more intense since the US and Israel launched their war against Iran, the Houthis' main backer.

Nader Hashemi, who studies Middle East politics at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, sees no easy way out.

So this is a, a conflict that has deep roots, and it's been reignited, and it's completely unclear, you know, how it can c- how it could be brought to an end.

Saudi Arabia's Civil Aviation Authority has confirmed the airport in Riyadh came under attack again on Sunday, with injuries reported.

The Houthis warning airlines to avoid Saudi airspace, declaring it a zone of military operations amid reports Saudi-backed forces have now hit a Houthi-controlled airport in what remains an active, ongoing conflict.
