At least 12 people were killed and 309 injured in an attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The Saudi-led coalition blamed Yemen's Houthi rebels for the attack, describing it as a "full-fledged war crime," while a diplomatic source attributed the strike to a missile. The attack occurred amid an unprecedented wave of Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia following the collapse in July of a truce in the long-running war between the group and Yemen's internationally recognised government, which is backed by Riyadh. The escalating violence has raised fears of a wider regional conflict, with US President Donald Trump indicating that Washington could join military action against the Houthis.
