The victims included citizens from Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, and Sudan. The injured are being treated in various hospitals, with some in critical condition. This attack is part of a series of assaults linked to the ongoing conflict involving Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. President Trump stated that the U.S. is considering joining Saudi strikes against the Houthis. The U.S. State Department condemned the attacks on civilian infrastructure. The missile hit terminals 3 and 4 for domestic flights, leading to the suspension of airport operations and flight diversions.
