Riyadh governor Prince Faisal bin Bandar visited patients injured in the Houthi attack on King Khalid International Airport. He conveyed royal greetings from King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, urging victims to recover quickly. The governor assured the injured they were in safe hands and praised Saudi efforts.
The attack, which occurred on October 10, was claimed by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels. It is the third strike on the airport this week, following two previous attacks. The Houthi group has warned airlines to suspend flights after the incidents. At least 12 people were killed and over 300 injured, with victims from eight countries.
The Houthi attacks have raised concerns across the region. Iran has expressed deep concern over the developments in the Arabian Peninsula. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced plans to send a defense pact with Saudi Arabia to parliament within days. The attacks highlight the ongoing tensions between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, with the Houthis targeting Saudi infrastructure.
The situation underscores the escalating conflict in the region. The Houthi rebels have demonstrated their military capabilities through the strikes, challenging Saudi security measures. The attacks have prompted international attention, with calls for increased diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation. The Saudi government continues to emphasize its commitment to protecting its citizens and maintaining regional stability.
