Death toll rises from Saudi airport attack

A strike attributed to Yemen’s Houthi forces hit the international airport serving Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, causing significant casualties. The attack targeted the airport’s facilities and resulted in a number of fatalities and injuries among passengers and staff.

Saudi officials have confirmed that the death toll from the incident has risen to 13 people. The authorities have not released a detailed breakdown of the victims, but the figure represents an increase from earlier reports.

The Saudi government has described the attack as a violation of international law and has pledged to respond in accordance with its security protocols. No further details on the response or investigation have been provided at this time.

The incident adds to the series of cross‑border attacks linked to the Houthi movement, which has been engaged in a protracted conflict with the Saudi-led coalition. International observers continue to monitor the situation for potential broader implications for regional stability.
