RiyadhDozens wounded, 5 in intensive care, after a missile hit the airport.
Every flight to the capital was diverted or cancelled, shortly before it hosts major energy and investment conferences.
A diplomatic source attributed the missile to the Houthis, and Saudi Arabia’s civil aviation authority suspended operations pending a damage assessment.
The Houthis have not claimed Saturday’s strike, though they claimed Thursday’s, which killed 3 people.
Donald Trump said he is weighing whether the US joins Saudi strikes on the Houthis.
