Watch: CCTV Shows People Take Cover After Missile Strikes Hits Riyadh Airport
BBC News reports on the recent missile strikes on the international airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which left 14 dead and over 300 injured. There has been a series of attacks throughout the week.
CCTV footage from inside King Khalid International Airport shows people taking cover as one of the missile strikes hit the building on Saturday.
The Houthis in Yemen have claimed responsibility for the attacks, warning airlines and passengers against using Saudi Arabian airports and airspace. They stated they targeted the airport with a mix of ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones. The group also attacked oil facilities and Dammam airport in eastern Saudi Arabia, according to their military spokesman, Brig Gen Yahya Saree. He promised to continue "escalating operations deep inside Saudi Arabia," warning that all Saudi airports are potential targets except for those in Mecca and Medina.
