  "summary": "Saudi Arabia reported a new barrage of incoming missiles and drones on Monday, according to Al-Monitor. The Riyadh airport is expected to remain closed for the time being following a deadly missile strike on a departure terminal this past Saturday. CBS News reported that strikes by Iran-backed rebels at the Riyadh international airport killed at least 13 people and wounded hundreds of others.\n\nThe Houthis, who are allied with Iran, claimed responsibility for the Saturday strike, Al-Monitor reported. The Hindustan Times - World News noted that the Houthis possess the reach to extend the consequences of the conflict in Yemen beyond its borders.\n\nAs the attacks on Riyadh airport disrupt travel, the FAA has warned U.S. airlines regarding flight risks over Saudi Arabia, according to CNBC.",
