Over the weekend, two attacks targeted the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, resulting in at least 13 to 14 deaths and more than 300 injuries according to local authorities and reports. The assaults prompted international reaction, notably from the government of Costa Rica, which issued a strong condemnation of the military action.
The strikes were attributed to the Houthi militia of Yemen, marking a significant escalation of violence reaching a major civilian aviation hub in Saudi territory. The high casualty count, with over 300 people wounded, underscores the severe impact of the weekend bombardment on the capital's primary international airport.
