An attack on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport killed at least 12 people and wounded more than 300 on Saturday, Saudi authorities said. A Saudi-led coalition blamed Yemen’s Houthis who had not claimed responsibility but warned of further strikes, while U.S. President Donald Trump called the attack “a terrible thing." Flight cancellations stranded Saudi-bound passengers in Dhaka, Bangladesh's capital, including Bangladeshi workers travelling for jobs. “It’s a challenge because I have a family to support and living expenses to cover,” said passenger Mohammad Rubel.
