Explosions rang out in the Saudi capital on Sunday, as the kingdom was due to reopen Riyadh international airport despite Yemen’s Houthis repeated attacks.
Saudi Arabia, which leads a military coalition fighting the Iran-backed Houthis, has faced a barrage of strikes from the group in recent weeks.
The fighting erupted after a years-long truce between the Houthis and Yemen’s Riyadh-backed government fell apart, and has shifted the focus of the wider US-Iran war.
