Houthis attack Riyadh airport in Saudi Arabia, 12 dead and 309 injured!

Tensions in the Middle East have escalated after a deadly attack at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which reportedly killed 12 people and injured 309 others, some of them seriously.

Although there has been no official claim of responsibility so far, suspicions have been directed at Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

According to reports, after the attack, other missile strikes were attempted, which were intercepted.

The victims are reported to include citizens from Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, the United States, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Sudan and Palestine. Authorities are continuing to assess the material damage and investigate the circumstances of the attack.

The incident has caused disruption to air travel. Airlines including Kuwait Airways, Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways have cancelled a number of flights to and from Riyadh. Airport authorities have urged passengers to check the status of their flights in advance.

US President Donald Trump described the attack as unacceptable and announced that he planned to have a phone conversation with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Meanwhile, the Saudi-led military coalition has blamed the Houthi rebels and warned of a decisive response, calling the attack a war crime.

Recent developments raise concerns about a further escalation of the conflict in the region, while it remains unclear how the parties will react in the coming hours and days.
