An attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has resulted in at least 12 deaths and 309 injuries, according to the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation. The victims include citizens from Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, the United States, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, and Sudan.
Among the deceased is Azza Ramzi Mohamed Hassan, a 28-year-old Egyptian flight attendant employed by Flynas. The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed her death and reported that five other Egyptian citizens were injured in the incident. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has directed officials to coordinate with Saudi authorities to facilitate the repatriation of the deceased and provide support to the injured.
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also mourned Talal al-Dhani, a Palestinian victim of the attack, expressing solidarity with Saudi Arabia. The incident is noted as one of the deadliest in the Persian Gulf Arab countries since the start of the Middle East war. While no group has officially claimed responsibility for this specific strike, it follows a series of attacks in the region, including previous strikes attributed to Houthi rebels.
