Houthi attack: Ceiling collapses on travellers in white as missile turns Riyadh airport into inferno

CCTV footage released by Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Media has captured the moment a missile struck King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on October 10, 2026. The explosion sent debris falling from the terminal ceiling as passengers scrambled for cover. Saudi authorities reported at least 13 deaths and more than 300 injuries, while airport operations were disrupted and hundreds of flights were cancelled. The attack was attributed to Yemen’s Houthi movement in initial reports. Saudi Arabia has launched an investigation into how its air-defence systems failed to intercept the barrage. The incident has raised fresh concerns about civilian safety, airport security and the widening conflict in the region.
