Live : Saudi Arabia vows 'decisive response' after deadly Houthi strike on Riyadh airport

A dozen people were killed and over 300 injured in an attack on Riyadh's international airport, according to local authorities. The Saudi civil aviation authority reported that the deaths included nationals from Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, the US, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Sudan, and Egypt. The attack, which occurred on Saturday, was blamed on Yemen's Houthi rebels by a Saudi-led military coalition, which called it a "war crime".

The Houthis have not taken responsibility for the attack, but they were behind separate strikes on the airport on Thursday that killed three people and damaged a plane. According to People Daily Kenya, this was the deadliest attack in Saudi Arabia since May 2015. The Saudi-led coalition has vowed to respond to the attack.

Pakistan's Foreign Office condemned the attack, calling it a "heinous act of terrorism" and a "grave threat to regional peace and security". The office expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia and called for an immediate halt to the Houthi militia's attacks on civilian and economic infrastructure.
