The Saudi Arabian Civil Aviation Organization confirmed on Saturday, October 10, that following an attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, which resulted in injuries to several individuals, operations at the airport have been halted.

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has responded by stating that he is aware of the attack and will make a decision regarding it.

In response to a question from reporters about whether the U.S. will join Saudi Arabia in its war against the Houthis, Donald Trump said, "It's possible. We will look into it. We just learned about the recent attack. We will make a decision. We will act very quickly."

Earlier, some media outlets reported that the Riyadh government had requested the U.S. to target the Houthis with military strikes.

Axios news agency reported a week ago that several high-ranking national security officials from the Trump administration met for several hours in an undisclosed meeting at Camp David to discuss the next steps for the U.S. in the Iran war and also in the conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in Yemen.

Despite the official confirmation of the attack and the injuries, Saudi officials have not yet disclosed the exact number of casualties or the extent of the damage to the airport.

The Houthis, supported by the Islamic Republic, have not claimed responsibility for Saturday's attack at the time of this report.
