Corroborated · Riyadh airport, Saudi Arabia ·
Yemen's Armed Forces, Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree and the Ansarallah-attributed posts say the Houthis struck King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, with one account citing fires and direct hits and another citing disrupted air traffic. The South First reports that a man from a Palakkad family was injured in an attack at Riyadh airport and his family is awaiting news. Erdogan, as relayed by MTV Lebanon, says the attack caused the loss of many Muslim lives; no other source gives a death toll.

Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
