A devastating attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, resulted in 12 fatalities and over 300 injuries, with some victims in critical condition. This incident marks the deadliest attack in a Gulf Arab country since the onset of the Iran war, which has seen increased conflict between Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen and Saudi-supported forces. The casualties included individuals from various nationalities, and the attack has prompted Saudi Arabia to seek military support from allies, including the United States. President Donald Trump indicated that the U.S. might consider joining Saudi strikes against the Houthis. The attack, part of a series of recent assaults on Saudi infrastructure, led to the suspension of airport operations and heightened security measures. The international community has issued travel warnings and expressed condolences.
