Iran War: Heaviest attack so far on Riyadh airport - twelve dead
Smoke, chaos and panic: Videos show travellers fleeing through destroyed halls after the deadly attack on Riyadh airport. Saudi Arabia is increasingly becoming a front line in the war in the region.
At least 12 people have been killed and over 300 injured in an attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The Houthi militia in Yemen, supported by Iran, has been blamed for the attack, which has been condemned by the Saudi-led military coalition and international leaders, including UN Secretary-General António Guterres and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
The airport was closed until Sunday evening and the US embassy advised citizens to avoid the area. The Houthi militia has threatened further attacks on Saudi airports and the country's airspace.
