It added that attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure were “completely unacceptable and must cease immediately”.India also expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia, saying it stood with the kingdom’s people and government in defence of their sovereignty and hoped that peace and normalcy would return to the region at the earliest.According to The Associated Press, Saudi civil aviation authorities said the latest attack killed 12 people and injured more than 300, with some of the injured in critical condition.A Saudi-led coalition fighting Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen blamed the group for the attack. There was no immediate statement from the Houthis claiming responsibility for the October 10 strike, as per the news agency.The Iran-backed Houthis, meanwhile, renewed their warning to airlines and travellers against using Saudi airports and airspace, while the group’s foreign ministry threatened a stronger response to continued Saudi military action in Yemen.A missile struck the airport complex housing terminals 3 and 4, which serve domestic flights. The airport has no military facilities, the Saudi-led coalition said, describing the attack as a war crime and vowing a response.The October 10 strike was the latest in a series of attacks on Saudi airports and other infrastructure amid an escalation in fighting between the Saudi-led coalition and the Houthis, who have been largely drawn into the wider war involving Iran, the United States and Israel.The Houthis had claimed attacks on King Khalid International Airport earlier in the week that killed three people, including a pilot.The latest attack has intensified concerns about the conflict spreading further across the Gulf, with US President Donald Trump saying on Saturday that Washington was considering whether to join Saudi strikes against the rebels. US secretary of state Marco Rubio said an American citizen had been killed in the strike and condemned what he called “reprehensible attacks”.Saudi authorities suspended airport operations following Saturday’s attack and extended the closure until at least 9 pm on Sunday, according to the flight-tracking platform Flightradar24. The disruption has added to flight suspensions and warnings issued by several countries and airlines amid concerns over the security of Saudi airspace.The attacks have taken place as the Saudi-led coalition supports Yemeni government forces in fighting the Houthis, whose recent gains along the Red Sea have heightened concerns about shipping routes and regional energy supplies.Despite the temporary closure of the Riyadh airport, Saudi energy ministry stated that the five-day WPC Energy Congress was still going ahead in Riyadh from Sunday.Riyadh continues its preparations to welcome participants to the 17th International Energy Forum Ministerial Meeting (IEF17), setting the stage for a global dialogue that brings together diverse perspectives and strengthens cooperation to advance energy security and market stability.— وزارة الطاقة (@MoEnergy_Saudi) October 11, 2026The international energy conference is taking place at a convention centre some 10 km from the airport, as per Reuters.
