Some of the injured are in critical condition and are receiving medical treatment at several hospitals.“Further to its earlier statement regarding the attack targeting King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Saturday, October 10, 2026, corresponding to 29 Rabi’ Al-Thani 1448H, the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) clarifies that the attack resulted in (12) fatalities, including (4) Saudi citizens and residents of the following nationalities: (2) Bangladeshi, (1) American, (1) Egyptian, (1) Jordanian, (1) Syrian, (1) Palestinian and (1) Sudanese,” GACA said.“The attack also left (309) others injured, including individuals in critical condition. All injured individuals are receiving the necessary medical care at several hospitals. May Allah bestow His mercy upon those who lost their lives and grant the injured a speedy recovery. The attack also caused property damage, the extent of which is currently being assessed,” the statement added.King Khalid International Airport has been targeted multiple times over the past week, since a Saudi-led coalition launched a major military offensive against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in neighbouring Yemen.The incident follows earlier attacks targeting King Khalid International Airport and Abha International Airport on October 6 and 7, which GACA said had resulted in three deaths and 36 injuries.Following the attack, operations at the airport were temporarily suspended and travellers were evacuated, while dozens of ambulances were seen rushing to the site.

According to flight-tracking platform Flightradar24, flights bound for Riyadh were being diverted to other destinations nearly four hours after the last flight landed at 2:05 pm local time.At least 225 flights at King Khalid International Airport had been cancelled over the preceding 24 hours, according to flight-tracking website FlightAware.Meanwhile, the US Embassy in Riyadh said it was aware of attacks on King Khalid International Airport and urged American citizens in the Saudi capital to avoid the airport and surrounding areas.The UK Embassy also advised British nationals to stay away from the airport area following what it described as a “serious incident”.
