The reported toll from the attack is at least 12 people killed and more than 300 injured. The figures are reported by the sources that provided casualty data, while not all the outlets in the available material give a death toll.
The suspension affected air operations at King Khalid International Airport. The sources agree that flights were halted, but the available information does not uniformly specify either the duration or the full extent of the measure.
The attack was attributed to the Houthi movement in EL PAÍS’s headline. The other reports provided confirm the incident and the suspension of airport operations, but do not provide independent confirmation of this attribution.
According to Deutsche Welle, the airport had already been targeted several times during the same week. This detail was reported only by the German outlet in the material examined.
The sources describe the incident as an attack on the Riyadh airport. However, the available material does not make it possible to establish with certainty which weapon or specific method was used.
The makeup of the casualties also remains information attributed to a single source: EL PAÍS reports that four Saudis and one U.S. citizen were among those killed. This detail is not corroborated by the other reports provided.
The confirmed picture therefore concerns the attack on Riyadh airport, the toll of at least 12 dead and more than 300 injured, and the subsequent suspension of flight operations. The attribution to the Houthis, the duration of the shutdown and the specific details of the attack remain to be independently verified.
