A missile attack hit King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, killing at least 12 people and injuring 309 others. The Saudi-led coalition accused Yemen’s Houthi rebels of the attack, which targeted the airport’s domestic terminal. The strike occurred amid a surge in Houthi attacks on Saudi territory since the collapse of a truce in July.
Saudi authorities suspended operations at the airport following the incident. Health officials called for an urgent mobilization of medical personnel to address the emergency. Foreign embassies advised their nationals to avoid the area. The attack marked another escalation in the ongoing conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi rebels.
The Houthi group, backed by Iran, has been accused of launching multiple strikes on Saudi infrastructure. This attack follows a pattern of increased aggression from the rebels, who have targeted key Saudi locations. The Saudi-led coalition has vowed a strong response, signaling a potential intensification of military actions. The incident has also drawn international attention, with U.S. Officials considering involvement in retaliatory strikes. The situation remains volatile as tensions continue to rise in the region.
