One Indian national injured in the attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh has succumbed to his injuries, while three other Indian nationals remain in intensive care but are reported to be in stable condition.

The Indian Embassy in Saudi Arabia said its officials had visited all hospitals where injured Indian citizens were receiving treatment following the attack.

According to the Embassy, two additional Indian nationals are being treated in regular hospital wards, while the remaining injured individuals have already been discharged.

The mission thanked Saudi authorities for the medical assistance extended to those injured and assured affected families that every possible form of support would continue to be provided.

The deceased Indian national was identified as Mohammad Yousuf Ali, a resident of Hyderabad who had been travelling to Medina to perform Umrah when the attack took place.

Political leader Asaduddin Owaisi stated that Ali’s wife and children were also among those injured in the incident.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar expressed deep sorrow over the loss of life and conveyed his condolences to the bereaved family.

He also affirmed that the Indian Embassy in Riyadh would extend all necessary assistance to the family during this difficult period.

The Embassy has meanwhile issued a fresh advisory urging Indian nationals across Saudi Arabia to remain alert and vigilant in view of the evolving security situation.

Indian citizens have been advised to remain indoors whenever necessary and to strictly follow all instructions issued by Saudi authorities through official channels.

The advisory also urged members of the Indian community to refrain from circulating or reposting videos, images or unverified reports related to the ongoing developments.

Despite the security situation, the Embassy confirmed that its operations in Riyadh, the Consulate in Jeddah and services provided through VFS continue to function normally.

Officials said additional advisories would be issued whenever required and encouraged Indian nationals needing assistance to contact the 24-hour Pravasi Bharatiya Sahayata Kendra helpline.

The latest update follows a renewed attack on King Khalid International Airport on Sunday, marking the second strike within 24 hours and the third such incident reported during the week.

Saudi authorities said a projectile struck Terminal 4, triggering a fire, after an earlier large-scale attack a day before that left 12 people dead and more than 300 injured.

Among the fatalities reported from the earlier attack were four Saudi nationals and eight foreign residents. Coalition spokesperson Major General Turki Al-Malki stated that Saudi air defences also intercepted a cruise missile in the vicinity of the airport during the latest assault.

Yemen’s Houthi movement claimed responsibility for the attacks, asserting that multiple coordinated operations had been carried out against Saudi airports and critical energy infrastructure.

Houthi military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree said the operations involved ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones launched over a 24-hour period.

According to Houthi statements, the targets included King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, the Shugadam gas facility and the Tanajib oil refinery linked to Saudi Aramco in the Eastern Province.

The group also issued warnings to international companies, workers and travellers regarding operations involving Saudi airports, while exempting airports and airspace serving the holy cities of Mecca and Medina from those warnings.

India strongly condemned the attacks, with the Ministry of External Affairs stating that repeated assaults on civilians and civilian infrastructure are unacceptable and must cease immediately.

New Delhi also expressed solidarity with Saudi Arabia and reiterated its support for the Kingdom’s sovereignty, security and efforts to restore stability.

The attacks underline a significant escalation in hostilities between Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthi forces, raising concerns over regional security, civilian safety and the protection of critical aviation and energy infrastructure across the Gulf.
