Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman stated that there would be a "serious" response to the Houthi attacks on Saudi airports and oil and gas facilities in Yemen. Previously, Houthi forces attacked Riyadh International Airport and another facility on Saturday and Sunday, killing 13 people and causing a temporary closure of Riyadh Airport. The Houthis claimed these attacks were retaliation for Saudi Arabia's "brutal aggression."
