Timeline

  1. U subotnjem napadu na medjunarodni aerodrom u Rijadu poginulo je dvanaest osoba, a vise od 300 je ranjeno, prenose izvori upoznati sa slucajem, dok se podaci o broju ranjenih medju medijima razlikuju. Bio je to treci ovonedjeljni napad na aerodrom, a saudijske vlasti su privremeno obustavile operacije i preusmjerile letove; za prethodne napade odgovornost su preuzeli huti pobunjenici, dok odgovornost za ovaj napad niko jos nije preuzeo prema jednom izvoru.
