Terminal in Riyadh airport hit again, a day after deadly strike killed 12

Yemen’s Houthi rebels have threatened further attacks on Saudi Arabia’s airspace following a deadly strike on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport, which killed at least 12 people, including a U.S. citizen, and injured hundreds.
