Second Strike Hits Riyadh Airport as Trump Weighs U.S. Intervention

A projectile struck a passenger terminal at Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport on Sunday, one day after a deadly missile attack killed 12 people and injured 309. The Saudi-led coalition confirmed the new impact, while the Houthis warned airlines to avoid Saudi airspace. President Trump indicated the U.S. may join Saudi strikes against the Houthis, though Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested no kinetic engagement with Iran is expected before November’s midterm elections.

Houthi missile strike on Riyadh airport kills 12, wounds 300 in deadliest Saudi attack in a decade

Yemen’s Houthis launched a ballistic missile at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Saturday, killing at least 12 people and wounding 309. This is the third strike on the airport this week and the deadliest attack on Saudi soil in over a decade. The attack killed four Saudis, two Bangladeshis, and one each from the US, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, and Sudan. All flights were diverted, and the airport remained closed until 9 p.m. local time. The Saudi-led coalition condemned the act as a war crime and vowed a decisive response. US President Donald Trump called the attack 'terrible' and said Washington was evaluating whether to join strikes against the Houthis. The incident follows a week of escalating Houthi attacks on Saudi infrastructure amid intensified fighting in Yemen.

Riyadh Airport Strike Kills 12, Wounds 300 Amid Escalating Houthi-Saudi Conflict

A missile strike on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh killed 12 people and injured over 300, marking the deadliest attack in the Gulf since the Iran war began. The incident, which occurred on Saturday, followed a week of escalating violence between Saudi-led coalition forces and Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. The attack damaged terminals for domestic flights and forced the suspension of all airport operations until midnight. President Donald Trump indicated the U.S. might join Saudi strikes against the Houthis, while Saudi Arabia faces dwindling missile interceptor stocks and has requested air defense support from allies including France and Britain. The violence has rattled global markets and led multiple airlines to suspend flights to Saudi Arabia, with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency warning of increased risks to civil aircraft in the region.
