Hyderabad man killed in Riyadh airport attack, two sons injured
The family was travelling to Madinah after performing Umrah when the attack occurred; the victim’s wife and daughter are safe, while his aunt sustained head injuries
A 46-year-old IT professional from Hyderabad, Mohammed Yousuf, was killed in an attack at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, while his two sons sustained injuries. Yousuf, who had travelled from Hyderabad to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah, was struck by debris during the attack, suffering severe injuries to his legs and later a suspected heart attack.
His elder son required knee surgery, while the younger son lost three toes in the attack. Yousuf's wife and daughter were safe, and his aunt, who also sustained head injuries, is out of danger. AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi confirmed the death and sought assistance from the Indian Embassy for the family. The attack, which left 12 people dead and 309 injured, was attributed to Yemen’s Houthi movement by the Saudi-led coalition.
