A Houthi attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, killed at least 12 people and injured 309 on Saturday, October 10, 2026, according to Saudi authorities. The victims included Saudi nationals and citizens of Bangladesh, the United States, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Sudan and Egypt. Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for the strike, the third attack on the airport within a week. Airport operations were temporarily suspended, and incoming flights were cancelled or diverted. US President Donald Trump condemned the attack and said Washington was considering possible military involvement alongside Saudi Arabia, raising fears of further regional escalation.
