Recent Houthi missile strikes on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh have driven the temporary suspension of operations, with the latest attack on October 10 killing at least 12 people and wounding more than 300. This marked the third strike on the facility that week amid the Yemen-based group's escalated campaign against Saudi targets. Saudi civil aviation authorities diverted all flights and extended the closure for an additional 24 hours through approximately 21:00 UTC on October 11 while assessing damage to radar, communications, and runways. Multiple international airlines have canceled or suspended services, embassies have issued travel advisories, and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency has flagged risks in Saudi airspace. Ongoing regional tensions, including prior attacks and Houthi claims of responsibility, continue to shape assessments of any near-term reopening or further disruptions.
