A recent bombing at Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport has left at least 12 people dead and over 300 injured.
What happened
The attack, which occurred on Saturday, was blamed on Houthi terrorists by Saudi Arabian authorities. The Iran-backed group did not immediately claim responsibility but warned people to avoid Saudi airports.
US President Donald Trump has stated that the US may join Saudi Arabia's strikes against the Houthi terrorists. The decision comes after a US citizen was among those killed in the bombing.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the attack, calling it a blatant disregard for innocent civilian life. The US, along with other countries, has warned citizens to avoid Saudi Arabia's largest airport due to the ongoing violence.
The bombing marks the deadliest attack in a Gulf Arab nation since the US-Iran war broke out in February. Saudi Arabia has requested air defense support from other countries, including France, Britain, and Egypt, as it runs low on missile interceptors.
