Riyadh Airport Attacked Again, Evacuated, Air Traffic Stopped: Report
NDTV ^ | Oct 10, 2026

The airport in the Saudi capital was attacked again Saturday and was evacuated, two regional officials said, two days after three Saudi citizens including a pilot were killed there as the kingdom faces an extraordinary series of assaults in the new front in the Iran war.

One official said air traffic to the Riyadh airport had stopped. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak to the media.

King Khalid International Airport has been targeted multiple times in the week since a Saudi-led coalition launched a major military offensive against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in neighboring Yemen. The Houthis claimed responsibility for the earlier attacks, including one Wednesday that killed a Sudanese national.

There was no immediate Houthi statement Saturday. The Saudi government-run Center for International Communication, which oversees foreign media in the kingdom, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

A Riyadh resident, Ahmed Sayed, told The Associated Press he heard at least two loud explosions that rocked the capital.

The airport issued a terse alert telling passengers to check their flight status with airlines before heading to the airport.

The Houthis are a tough nut to crack they keep fighting fanatically and have a track record of resilience I’m not supporting them just speaking to the historical record.

The Saudi’s are great at paying others to do their killing...not so great at defending themselves...

We sell them some of our best stuff and unlike Israel they can’t do squat with it and run like cowards when confronted.
