Houthi strikes on Riyadh airport enter third day; Trump says Houthis 'misbehaving'

Houthi forces struck the Saudi capital for a third consecutive day on Monday, after a strike on Saturday killed at least 12 people and wounded more than 300, with one more killed in a follow-up strike on Sunday; a drone was also fired at Khamis Mushait near the Yemeni border. King Khalid International Airport remains closed until Saturday, and Etihad, Gulf Air and other carriers have suspended flights. "The Houthis are misbehaving very badly. No good," Trump said, giving no sign of US intervention, while Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said the kingdom's response "must be equally serious."
