The U.S. has banned government employees working in Saudi Arabia from using airports in the country without special authorisation. It comes after a deadly Houthi strike on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport killed at least 13 people last week.
Yemen's Houthis fired missiles at the country's presidential palace complex in the southern city of Aden on Thursday, killing five people, the country's internationally recognised government said.

Aden's Al-Maashiq palace is the seat of Yemen's Saudi-backed and internationally recognised government.
Yemen's Health Minister Qasim Buhaibeh said that in addition to the fatalities, 16 people were injured. The casualties included guards and civilian employees.
