Regional officials said the airport was evacuated and air traffic stopped after repeated attacks this week killed three Saudi civilians, including a pilot.
- On Oct. 10, 2026, King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh was evacuated following an attack, two regional officials said on condition of anonymity. Air traffic halted entirely.
- The airport has been targeted multiple times this week, including a Thursday strike that killed three Saudi civilians, including a pilot. The escalating attacks reflect intensifying regional conflict.
- Iran-Backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed responsibility for earlier strikes this week. No immediate statement was issued by the group regarding the Oct. 10 evacuation.
- Airport authorities issued a terse alert directing passengers to confirm flights with airlines before traveling, as all air traffic operations ceased. Travelers faced immediate uncertainty.
- Fighting between the Houthis and Saudi-backed Yemeni forces has escalated, with a Saudi-led coalition providing air support to reverse rebel gains along the Red Sea. The airport attacks appear tied to this broader conflict.
