Watch: CCTV Shows People Take Cover as Missile Hits Riyadh Airport

Two strikes on the international airport in Riyadh, the Saudi capital, have left 14 dead and more than 300 injured. There has been a series of other attacks earlier in the week.

CCTV footage from inside King Khalid International Airport shows people taking cover as one of the missiles hit the building on Saturday.

The Houthis in Yemen claim responsibility for the strikes, 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. They also attacked oil facilities and Dammam airport in eastern Saudi Arabia.
