A projectile targeted a passenger terminal at Riyadh's international airport on Sunday, following a missile strike that claimed 12 lives the previous day, according to the Saudi-led coalition battling Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.

Over 300 individuals sustained injuries, some of them critical. The intensifying conflict in the war's new front risks increased U.S. military engagement.
President Donald Trump is contemplating joining the fight against the Houthis, though there was no official White House statement on Sunday. India's embassy in Saudi Arabia confirmed that one of its citizens perished from injuries sustained during Saturday's attack, raising the death toll.
