CCTV shows moment of strike at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh

An Indian national who was injured in the attack on Riyadh airport on October 10 has passed away, according to the Embassy of India in Riyadh. The strike resulted in 12 deaths and over 300 injuries, prompting the Saudi-led coalition to vow a decisive response against the Houthi movement in Yemen. The coalition blamed the Iran-backed group for the attack, labeling it a "full-fledged war crime."

The Indian Embassy is in contact with the deceased's family and will support the early repatriation of their remains, conveying its deepest condolences. Eleven Indians were among those injured in the incident. The Embassy has urged all Indian nationals in Saudi Arabia to remain vigilant, stay indoors when necessary, and follow instructions from local authorities.

They advise against circulating or reposting videos or news related to the events. The Embassy's offices in Riyadh and Jeddah, along with their outsourced services, remain operational and will issue further updates and advisories as needed. Indian nationals requiring assistance can contact the 24-hour Pravasi Bharatiya Sahayata Kendra (PBSK) helpline at 8002471234. The Indian community is advised to follow the Embassy's official social media accounts for updates.
