Saudi Arabia has accused Yemen’s Houthis of killing at least 12 people and wounding 300 others in a third attack on the Riyadh international airport this week.

The victims of the attack on Saturday included four Saudis, two ⁠Bangladeshis and one person each from the United States, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Sudan and Egypt, the General Authority of Civil Aviation said.

It was the deadliest attack on the kingdom in more than a decade.

The Riyadh airport attack came as the war in Yemen intensifies, with the Houthis battling forces aligned with the internationally recognised government for control of the country. Saudi Arabia is waging an air campaign against the Houthis to support the ground war by Yemeni government forces against the Iran-backed group.

US President Donald Trump described the attack as “terrible” and said he “will be speaking” with Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), soon. He said he was evaluating whether the US should join the war against the Houthis.

“We may. We’re gonna look at it. We just found out about the recent attack, so we’ll make a decision. We’ll move very quickly,” he said.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, meanwhile, said the Houthi attack killed an American and called for an end to “these reprehensible attacks”.

“We stand with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its people and extend our condolences to the victims and their families,” he wrote on X.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on X that he is “deeply shocked” and strongly condemns “Saturday’s lethal attack by the Houthis”.

He said attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure violated international law and “must cease immediately”.

Hans Grundberg, the UN special envoy for Yemen, said the deadly strikes on civilian airports in Saudi Arabia represent “a grave escalation”.

“Such actions pose a serious threat to regional security, perpetuate cycles of violence and complicate even more peace efforts for Yemen,” he said in a statement.

The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its “strong condemnation” of the Houthi attacks, denouncing their “flagrant violation” of international law, and the “disregard” for the safety of citizens that they entail.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the Houthi attack, describing it as a “serious violation of Saudi sovereignty and a direct threat to the security of the region, the safety of civilians, civil facilities and air navigation”.

It expressed its full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and said Doha supported “all legitimate measures” the kingdom “takes to preserve its sovereignty, security and safety of its territories”.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the “heinous attack”.

“Attacks targeting civilians and vital infrastructure are utterly unacceptable and pose a serious threat to regional peace and stability,” Sharif wrote on X. He also reaffirmed Pakistan’s “steadfast commitment to Saudi Arabia’s sovereignty, territorial integrity”.

Jordan’s King Abdullah offered condolences to Saudi King Salman and MBS over the attacks and expressed his kingdom’s full solidarity with Riyadh.

The country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the “brutal aggression” by the Houthis, describing it as a “dangerous escalation” and a “blatant breach of international law”.

The sultanate denounced the attack and emphasised the “necessity of prioritising the voice of wisdom and self-restraint, and avoiding actions that would expand the scope of escalation, in order to preserve the security and stability of the region”.

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared “its full solidarity with the sisterly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia” and said it supported “all measures taken by the kingdom to safeguard its security, sovereignty, and the safety of its citizens and residents”.

Syria condemned the attack in the “strongest terms”, urging the international community to take “serious steps to stop the attacks that target civilian facilities and threaten the security of the region”, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

India’s Ministry of External Affairs described the Houthi attack on Riyadh airport as “dastardly” and said attacks on civilians “are completely unacceptable and must cease immediately”.

Japan’s embassy in Saudi Arabia strongly condemned the repeated attacks by the Houthis, saying assaults on civilians “cannot be tolerated” under any circumstances.

Prime Minister Mark Carney described the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, particularly the strike on Riyadh airport, as “abhorrent”.

“There can be no justification for attacks on civilian infrastructure,” he wrote on X, adding, Canada “condemns these reckless acts of violence in the strongest possible terms”.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim “unequivocally denounced” the attack.

There can be no justification for attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure,” he wrote on X.
