What happened
A missile attack on Saudi Arabia's busiest airport, King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, has killed at least 12 people and injured over 300. The attack, carried out by Iran-backed Houthi terrorists, struck a complex housing two passenger terminals, causing widespread panic and forcing authorities to suspend airport operations.
The victims included citizens from several countries, including Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, the United States, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Sudan, and Palestine. The attack is considered one of the deadliest in Saudi Arabia in over a decade and has raised concerns about the escalating conflict in the region.
The Houthi group claimed responsibility for the attack, which is part of a larger campaign against Saudi Arabia's airports and civilian infrastructure. The attack has prompted a strong response from Saudi authorities, who have vowed to retaliate against the Houthis.
The United States has condemned the attack, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressing support for Saudi Arabia and extending condolences to the victims and their families. President Donald Trump has also weighed in on the issue, suggesting that the US may join Saudi-led strikes against the Houthis.
