The Saudi-led coalition operating in Yemen has announced plans for a firm military response after a Houthi-led attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh resulted in 12 fatalities and over 300 injuries. Coalition spokesperson Major General Turki Al Malik characterized the strike as a significant violation of international humanitarian law, labeling the incident a war crime. In the immediate aftermath, authorities implemented a precautionary closure of the airport, which has been extended for an additional 24 hours to ensure safety. Passengers have been instructed to monitor their flight status through their respective carriers. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump indicated that Washington might support Saudi Arabia in potential retaliatory actions against the Houthi forces, who are known to receive backing from external actors.
