Several injured in reported attack on Riyadh international airport

Operations at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh were suspended on Saturday following a reported attack that left several people injured.

The US embassy urged American citizens to avoid the airport and surrounding areas, while multiple Gulf airlines cancelled or diverted flights due to security concerns.

The incident follows recent Houthi missile and drone strikes targeting Saudi airports and oil facilities amid an escalation in fighting between Yemen's coalition-backed government and the Houthis.
