Washington: A Saturday afternoon strike targeting King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, resulted in 12 fatalities and 309 injuries, according to the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation, as Yemen's Houthi group and Saudi Arabia continued exchanging attacks on major aviation facilities.
Weighing in on the escalation, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed that the Houthi offensive had claimed the life of a US national and urged an immediate halt to the hostile actions.
