Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority reported that a strike on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh killed at least 12 people and wounded 309, with the victims including citizens and residents from various nations. The Houthi group, which has denied responsibility in past instances, was identified by the Saudi government as the perpetrator of what was described as the third strike on the hub that week.

In response, airport operations were suspended, leading to the cancellation of hundreds of flights on Sunday.
