12 killed in attack on airport in Saudi capital Riyadh

At least 12 people were killed and 309 injured in a deadly attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The victims included four Saudis, two Bangladeshi nationals, and one person each from the US, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Sudan, and Egypt. The Saudi civil aviation authority stated that operations at the airport have been suspended and that some of the injured are in critical condition.

The attack, which the coalition blamed on the Houthis, was described as a "full-fledged war crime." The Saudi-led coalition vowed to respond to the assault, while the Houthis have not claimed responsibility. This attack follows previous strikes on the airport the day prior, killing three Saudi nationals and damaging a plane. The escalation in fighting between Saudi-backed government forces and the Houthis in Yemen has led to various attacks on Saudi airports.

The attacks have been condemned by various countries, including the US, Egypt, Palestine, and Qatar, with Western embassies advising citizens to avoid the airport. Several Gulf airlines have canceled their flights to and from the airport due to security concerns.
