The death toll from the attack carried out this Saturday by Yemen's Houthis against King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, has risen to at least 12, while the wounded exceed 300, according to Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA). In an official statement, the entity clarified that "the attack has caused 12 deaths, including four Saudi citizens and residents of the following nationalities: two Bangladeshis, one American, one Egyptian, one Jordanian, one Syrian, one Palestinian, and one Sudanese." The statement added that the offensive left 309 injured, "including several individuals in critical condition." "All the wounded are receiving the necessary medical care in various hospitals," it specified, also indicating that the attack caused "material damage" that is being assessed. With this, the attack becomes the deadliest in an Arab Gulf country since the war between the United States and Israel against Iran began in February, as reported by The New York Times. Among the fatalities are an Egyptian flight attendant who worked for a Saudi airline and a Palestinian carrying Egyptian travel documents, as medical sources at a local hospital told AFP. Shortly before, the same aviation authority had reported that it was assessing the damage at the airport and announced the temporary suspension of its operations. Witnesses, for their part, described hearing a loud explosion at the airport, and a traveler waiting to board a flight reported another blast. This occurred as passengers were being evacuated from the facilities and about a dozen ambulances were seen arriving at the scene, which then headed to King Fahad Hospital in Riyadh. This would be the third attack on the facilities in one week and led US President Donald Trump to state today that Washington could join Saudi Arabia's military campaign against the Yemeni Houthi rebels. "It could be. We're going to look at it," he responded from Andrews Base when asked whether he would join the Saudi attacks against the Houthis. "I just found out about the latest attack. We're going to make a decision. We move very fast," Trump said, according to Europa Press. Likewise, local authorities recalled that the Houthis also carried out attacks earlier this week against the airports of Riyadh and Abha, in the south of the kingdom, causing deaths and injuries. Militia Claims Responsibility for the Attack Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a senior Houthi official, asserted this afternoon that the militia was responsible for the bombing carried out in Riyadh, which, he said, was in retaliation for the Saudi attacks, including those directed against civilian infrastructure in Yemen. According to Al-Bukhaiti, the insurgent group carried out the assault "so that the world understands that airports, seaports, wedding and funeral halls, hospitals, and markets in Yemen are civilian facilities that must not be attacked or damaged, and that the same rules that apply to these facilities in Yemen must also apply to their counterparts anywhere else."
