Riyadh’s airport remains closed until 21:00 UTC on October 11 after its shutdown was extended by 24 hours. Lufthansa has suspended flights to Riyadh through October 16, and other airlines have canceled services. The US and British embassies urged their citizens to avoid the airport.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed an American citizen was among those killed and condemned the Houthi attacks, saying, “They must stop now.” President Donald Trump had earlier said the US might join Saudi strikes against the group: “We may. We're going to look at it.” Representative Ro Khanna opposed US involvement and said he introduced a Yemen War Powers Resolution with Representative Thomas Massie to keep the US out of the war.
