CCTV released by Saudi Arabia shows moment of deadly attack on Riyadh’s international airport

Post date October 12, 2026

One person was killed in a new attack on Riyadh’s international airport on Sunday, Saudi authorities reported, a day after a strike claimed by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis left 13 people dead.

The Houthis claimed responsibility for the attacks that left more than 300 people wounded.

The King Khalid International Airport – struck four times in the past five days – has been closed since the weekend missile attack – the deadliest in a Gulf Arab nation since the Iran war began.

The latest strike came shortly after the Houthis said the airport in the rebel-held Yemeni capital of Sanaa had been struck again, and blamed the Saudis.

Post author By Mike Nova
Post date October 12, 2026

In the Bible, God’s people returned from exile and began rebuilding the temple to restore worship and honor God. Today we are God’s dwelling place—living stones being built into a spiritual house—and Jesus has called us not only to receive salvation but to do the work of the Lord. Are we simply attending church, or are we actively helping build the church of Jesus Christ?
