A Houthi strike on Riyadh Airport has left a tragic toll, with at least 12 lives lost and 309 people injured, according to reports from Premium Times Nigeria and Vanguard News. The attack, which occurred on October 11th, is a grim reminder of the ongoing conflict in Yemen and its impact on civilian populations. The fatalities include nationals from Saudi Arabia, the United States, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, and Sudan, highlighting the international dimension of the crisis. Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation confirmed the casualties, and vowed retaliation against the Houthi rebels. The strike comes just a day after another attack on the airport, which suspended operations there. The precise motives behind these attacks remain unclear, and it is important to note that both Vanguard News and Premium Times Nigeria did not attribute the attacks to any specific group other than the Houthi rebels. This development underscores the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the Yemen conflict, and highlights the importance of international cooperation in addressing this crisis.
