Deadly attack on Saudi airport, and Hurricane Isaias leaves four dead: Weekend Rundown

A projectile struck King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, injuring people, according to Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation which said authorities were assessing damage and airport-systems safety. The authorities did not provide an injury count.

The attack followed a deadly missile strike at the same airport the previous day, which Saudi civil aviation authorities said killed at least 13 people and injured more than 300. The incident marked a sharp escalation in the Yemen-based Houthis’ campaign against Saudi Arabia.

In the United States, President Donald Trump commented on possible U.S. involvement, saying the country was “considering joining Saudi military operations” and that a decision would be made soon.

Separately, Hurricane Isaias moved north along the U.S. coast, making landfall in Florida as a Category 2 storm before weakening to a post-tropical cyclone, with widespread power outages reported in Florida and Alabama, and advisories for flooding and dangerous surf along the Gulf and southeastern Atlantic coasts.
