According to the Saudi Arabian Civil Aviation Organization, all the injured are receiving necessary medical care in several hospitals.

The statement also mentioned that the attack on King Khalid International Airport caused financial and material damages, and the assessment of the extent of these damages is still ongoing.

Saturday's attack was the third attack this week by Houthi rebels supported by the Islamic Republic in Yemen on Riyadh International Airport. The Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack. Aligned with the Islamic Republic's efforts to destabilize the Strait of Hormuz, the Houthis have attempted to attack ships in the Bab al-Mandab Strait, which connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean, and is considered a vital strait.

According to reports on Saturday, the routes of all flights from Riyadh were changed, and airport activities were temporarily halted.
