Saudi Arabia has extended the closure of its main international airport and moved Riyadh schools online following a missile attack that killed 12 people and wounded over 300. The attack on Saturday was blamed on Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis. It marked the deadliest assault in a Gulf Arab country since the Iran war began. The Houthis have threatened further escalation, targeting Saudi airports. The Houthi-run Health Ministry says 91 Yemenis have been killed by the Saudi-led coalition in five weeks. International leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump, condemned the attack. Trump said he was considering whether to join Saudi strikes against the rebels. The attack has increased tensions and pushed oil prices up.
