A Houthi missile strike hit King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Saturday, killing 12 people and injuring 309, including four Saudis and a U.S. Citizen. The attack targeted a passenger terminal, causing significant damage. Civil defense agencies in Oman reported that a wounded seaman was evacuated from a ship after a fire, though the incident is unrelated to the Riyadh attack. Saudi authorities confirmed the casualties and described the attack as a deliberate strike against civilian infrastructure. The Houthi militia, based in Yemen, has been accused of targeting Saudi airports in recent months. The attack has intensified regional tensions, with widespread condemnation from Arab and international leaders. Saudi officials have vowed to respond to the attack, though no immediate military action has been announced. The situation remains under close monitoring as the Houthi group continues to launch attacks from Yemen. The incident highlights the ongoing conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi rebels, which has seen frequent cross-border strikes and retaliatory measures. The Saudi government has called for increased international support to address the security threat posed by the Houthi group. Civil defense teams in Riyadh have urged residents to remain cautious, despite declaring the immediate threat to be over.
