Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia condemn Houthi attacks on Riyadh airport
Travel advisories spread after the strike killed at least 12 people and injured more than 300, while organizers postponed major sports events.
- On October 10, 2026, a Houthi missile strike hit King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, killing 12 people and injuring more than 300, according to Saudi aviation authorities. The attack marks the kingdom's deadliest in over a decade.
- Condemning the strike as a "dangerous escalation," the R4 group—Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Türkiye—reaffirmed their August joint defense pact, under which an attack on one party constitutes an attack on all.
- Indian national Mohammed Yousef Ali died following the attack, prompting the Indian Embassy to coordinate medical aid for 11 affected nationals. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated attacks on civilians "must cease immediately."
- Saudi aviation authorities suspended flight operations at the airport, while the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom issued travel warnings advising citizens to avoid the facility and exercise caution throughout the region.
- Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree warned that Saudi airports remain "theaters of operations" for their forces, following repeated strikes on energy facilities and transport hubs this month. This pattern creates persistent regional security challenges.
