An attack at Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport left more than 300 people injured, according to officials monitoring the incident. The assault, which involved gunfire and explosions, prompted a swift security response and the evacuation of passengers from the terminal.

Among those wounded were at least 11 Indian nationals, who were taken to nearby medical facilities for treatment. The Indian community in Saudi Arabia was alerted to the situation, and consular officials began coordinating assistance for the injured.

One Indian citizen who had been hospitalized after the attack succumbed to his injuries the following day. The individual’s family was informed of his death, and the consular team offered support to the relatives.

The Indian Embassy in Riyadh confirmed the number of Indian victims and expressed its gratitude to Saudi authorities for the medical care provided. It also urged Indian citizens in the kingdom to remain vigilant and follow safety instructions issued by local law‑enforcement agencies.

Investigations into the motives and perpetrators of the Riyadh airport attack are ongoing, with Saudi security forces conducting forensic examinations and gathering witness statements to determine the full scope of the incident.
