A missile strike hit King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on October 10, killing at least 13 people and injuring hundreds. The attack forced the airport to suspend operations.
Footage released by Saudi authorities shows the moment the missile struck the airport. The video, shared by the Saudi Media Ministry, captures the impact and immediate aftermath. The attack occurred just days after a similar strike on the same airport.
The Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, claimed responsibility for the attack. The group has been targeting Saudi infrastructure in recent weeks. The attack comes amid ongoing tensions between Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, and Turkey condemned the strike, calling for an end to Houthi attacks. The United Nations also expressed outrage, urging an immediate halt to attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure.
The attack has raised concerns about regional security. The Houthi militia has been accused of launching multiple strikes on Saudi targets. The latest strike follows a similar attack on the same airport within 24 hours.
The incident has prompted travel warnings from several countries, including the UK. The Saudi government has not yet confirmed the exact number of casualties. The airport remains closed for repairs and security checks.
