Single source · King Khalid International Airport, Saudi Arabia · 2026-10-10 23:59 UTC

OSINTdefender reports that a Houthi attack hit King Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia, killing 12 and injuring 309 according to the post, and that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned it. A second OSINTdefender post reports that Donald Trump said 'We may' when asked whether the US would join strikes against the Houthis and that he is set to call the Saudi crown prince.

Verification

Single source: 1 independent source.

Sources disagree on:

• The first claim's summary attributes the attack to the Houthis, but its actors field lists the attacker as the US State Department, which conflicts with the summary.
• The second claim's actors field lists the attacker as the US, while its summary describes a Houthi strike as the event being responded to.
• Both claims rest on the same OSINTdefender X account, so no second source confirms or denies the casualty figures or the Rubio and Trump statements.
