At least 12 killed as Houthis strike Riyadh's international airport in deadliest attack on Saudi Arabia in over a decade

Yemen's Houthi forces killed at least 12 people and wounded 300 others in an attack on Riyadh's international airport on Oct 11, 2026 — the deadliest assault on Saudi Arabia in more than a decade — targeting civilians from Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, the United States, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Sudan and Egypt. Saudi Arabia has been waging an air campaign against the Houthis in support of Yemeni government ground forces as the civil war intensifies. US President Donald Trump called the attack 'terrible' and said he was evaluating whether the United States should join Saudi Arabia's offensive against the Iran-backed group.
