12 Killed, 300 Wounded in Houthi Attack on Riyadh Airport

Saturday, October 10, 2026

Saudi Arabia has said that at least 12 people have been killed and more than 300 were wounded in an attack by Yemen's Houthis on the King Khalid International airport near its capital, Riyadh.

The Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) said the attack on Saturday killed at least four Saudi citizens and two Bangladeshis.

The attack " which also caused property damage " marked the third assault by the Houthis on the international airport this week.

Houthi attacks on King Khalid airport on Thursday killed at least three Saudi citizens, including a pilot, according to GACA.

"The attacks come as fighting intensified in Yemen, with forces loyal to the country's internationally recognised government fighting the Iran-backed Houthis for control of the country.

Saudi Arabia has waged an air campaign in support of the Yemeni government's ground war and claimed hundreds of strikes on Houthi-held territory, including the Yemeni capital, Sanaa."

Didn't the Saudis buy billions in American armaments?

Why aren't they using them?

80% khat chewing teenagers. The median age of the entire country is 18, and they field 13 year old child soldiers.

Child soldiers can press buttons, mrbm's aren't designed to be hard to use.

The front the Houthi are making progress on is Taizz. Slowly grinding forward in the face of massive airstrikes and drone attacks. If the Saudi-Syrian-Egyptians don't commit to a ground offensive they actively choose to lose.
