Riyadh airport ops halted, Houthis' fresh warning: Major escalation after latest strike kills 12 in Saudi

An attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on October 10, killed 12 people and injured 309 others. The fatalities included nationals from Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, the United States, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, and Sudan. According to the Punch, some of the injured were in critical condition.

The attack led to a temporary suspension of airport operations to assess the damage and verify the safety of facilities and passengers. The Saudi-led coalition blamed Yemen's Houthi group for the attack, which was described as a "war crime."

The Houthis warned airlines, travelers, and airport workers to stay away from Saudi airports, except for those in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, citing vulnerability to attack. US President Donald Trump said he was considering whether to join Saudi strikes against the Houthis.
