La oleada de ataques hutíes contra aeropuertos de Arabia Saudí impulsa otra escalada que puede arrastrar a Trump
Un nuevo proyectil impacta en el aeródromo de Riad, al día siguiente del bombardeo que mató al menos a 12 personas
A series of Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabian airports has sparked a further escalation that could drag the United States into the conflict, according to reports. The sirens of ambulances rushing to Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport signaled residents of the Saudi capital that something grave had occurred. Official silence was soon broken as international media revealed that 12 people had died from the impact of a Houthi missile on Terminal 3 of the airport.
It was already nighttime when the Saudi General Aviation Authority confirmed the deaths and 309 injuries, several of them critical. The Houthis claimed responsibility for the assault, which Riyadh promised a response to soon after another projectile caused several injuries at another terminal of the same airport. The Houthis' bombings and the announced Saudi retaliation are fueling fears of a regional escalation that could draw the United States in. Donald Trump stated on Saturday that he was "studying" bombing the Yemeni rebels.
