Airport attack kills 12 in Saudi Arabia; Isaias weakens after Gulf Coast landfall
A major attack on Riyadh airport leaves dozens dead and wounded as Trump weighs military involvement, while Hurricane Isaias moves inland after striking Florida.
Twelve people were killed and hundreds injured in an attack on an airport in Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh, according to multiple reports. The strike has drawn international attention, with Trump saying the U.S. may join Saudi military operations in response. The U.S. State Department has issued a security alert to citizens in the Middle East following the incident.
Hurricane Isaias made landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast as a Category 2 hurricane before weakening to a post-tropical cyclone as it moved inland. The storm brought winds of 105 mph and caused widespread power outages affecting over 700,000 residents across Florida and Alabama. Tropical Storm Rachel is meanwhile battering the Southern California coast with unusual behavior expected to continue through the weekend.
Trump said the U.S. should consider replacing Ukraine's President Zelensky and suggested Ukraine halt strikes on Russian refineries, drawing criticism from allies and concerns about his party's Senate prospects. He also reacted to not winning a Nobel Peace Prize again, calling it an "indelible stain" on Norway. Meanwhile, Trump's Justice Department is investigating major television networks over their response to a White House press ban.
