Saudi Arabia extended the closure of Riyadh's international airport on Monday. The move follows a series of drone and missile attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels.
The Saudi-led coalition said it is responding to the attacks. On Saturday, one strike killed 13 people and injured more than 300.
The airport closure is one of the worst disruptions to Saudi aviation in years. It marks a major escalation in the war with the Houthi rebels.
