Saudi authorities said Wednesday three people were killed in attacks on two of the kingdom's international airports, including in the capital Riyadh, after Yemen's Houthis claimed to have fired on both transport hubs.

France 24’s Philip Turle takes a look at what the Houthis aims in the conflict are.
