The Saudi civil aviation authority confirmed the strike occurred on October 10, 2026, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing campaign against the kingdom’s infrastructure. While official casualty figures remain under assessment, medical sources reported that at least five individuals were admitted to intensive care, with dozens more sustaining injuries. In response, diplomatic missions from the United States, Britain, Canada, Germany, and Spain issued urgent advisories urging their nationals to avoid the airport and its perimeter until authorities declare the area secure.
This incident follows a series of recent strikes that have left residents and international observers with limited information, as Saudi officials maintain strict control over reports regarding the frequency and impact of these attacks. The French embassy, anticipating further instability, recently cautioned its citizens against documenting or sharing footage of affected zones. The assault signals an intensification of Houthi operations against Saudi targets, challenging the kingdom's role in the regional conflict while complicating travel logistics for the coming week.
