12 people were killed in Riyadh after a series of air strikes on airports in Saudi Arabia, according to reports that have highlighted the escalating violence in the region.
The deadly attacks, which targeted several key airports, have drawn international attention and raised concerns about the safety of civilian infrastructure in the kingdom.
In the wake of these incidents, Washington is reportedly debating whether to strike Houthi forces in Yemen and whether to restart air strikes against Iran, a move that could further heighten tensions in the Middle East.
The Houthis are a rebel group based in Yemen that have been accused of attacking shipping lanes and other strategic targets. Iran, meanwhile, has been a focal point of regional security discussions due to its perceived support for the Houthis.
Officials say that any decision to engage militarily against either group will be weighed carefully against the potential for wider conflict and the need to protect civilian lives.
