On 10 October 2026 an attack at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh killed at least 12 people and injured more than 300, and the Houthi group said it was retaliation for Saudi airstrikes in Yemen.

The Saudi civil aviation authority temporarily halted airport operations pending a safety assessment, while Kuwait Airways cancelled its Riyadh flights and Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways suspended theirs, some until 12 October; embassies of the United States, United Kingdom, Spain and Germany advised their citizens to avoid the airport and the U.S. embassy warned its employees in Saudi Arabia needed special authorization to use it.
