Riyadh’s King Khalid Airport will stay closed until Saturday, after it was hit by the Houthi attacks over the weekend, which killed 14 people and injured at least 320 others.
Saudi forces have responded with more air strikes on Yemen’s Houthi-controlled capital Sanaa, where at least one person was killed.
There’s also been intense fighting in Taiz province, where Saudi and Yemeni government forces are battling to stop the Houthis taking the strategically-important city of Taiz.
