Houthi strikes on Riyadh airport left three people dead on Thursday, Saudi authorities said, as the Yemeni group presses its campaign on the kingdom.

The attacks also wounded several people and damaged a Saudia Airlines plane, while smoke rose over the airport. Saudia said one of the dead worked for the airline. Several airlines then scrapped services to Riyadh. The disruption came just days before the city hosts a big meeting of world oil executives.

Flights at Riyadh airport were back to normal later, according to the Saudi civil aviation authority. A flight-tracking site also showed flights gradually resuming, including some by Middle Eastern airlines. Earlier this week, Houthi strikes on other Saudi airports had already killed three people.
