The attack resulted in dozens of injuries, with most victims being Saudi nationals, reported a hospital source in the Saudi capital. At least five of the injured were treated in an intensive care unit, the hospital insider added.\n\nAlthough Saudi authorities have not officially confirmed the incident or the evacuation, multiple witnesses claimed they observed an evacuation at the airport on Saturday. One witness recounted hearing an explosion while waiting to board a flight, while another eyewitness observed a strike that left people injured.\n\nThe Canadian, German, and Spanish embassies in Saudi Arabia advised citizens to avoid the airport following the latest attack. Responding to the security situation, Kuwait Airways cancelled two flights: KU775 from Kuwait to Riyadh and KU776 from Riyadh to Kuwait, as announced by the airline on Saturday, October 10, 2026.",
