The Houthi movement has warned airlines and passengers against using airports in Saudi Arabia, according to the BBC, after an attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh left at least 12 people dead and hundreds wounded.
Reports carried by Al Jazeera, CNN, TheCable and Punch Newspapers put the death toll at 12, with casualty figures for the injured ranging from 309 to several hundred. The Saudi-led coalition has said it will respond to the strike, Al Jazeera reported.
UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said he was "appalled" by the attack and expressed solidarity with those affected, the BBC reported. He advised British nationals to stay away from the airport, in line with guidance from Saudi authorities, and urged them to check the UK government's travel advice.
The warning from the Houthis adds pressure on airlines and travellers weighing routes through Saudi hubs, though the reporting does not specify which carriers or airports are covered by the advisory.
What to watch next: whether airlines suspend or reroute services to Saudi airports, and how the Saudi-led coalition's promised response unfolds.
