Two teenagers discharged in Riyadh after Houthi airport strike — The National

Two teenagers were discharged from a Riyadh hospital on the same day after the Houthi strike on King Khalid International Airport. The two brothers, aged 18 and 16, were treated in Riyadh following the attack and were released later the same day, according to UA.NEWS.

The strike targeted King Khalid International Airport, with reports indicating that the Yemeni Houthi forces attacked facilities at or near the airport complex. The incident is described in the material as a Houthi attack on the Riyadh airport, though no additional operational details about the strike are provided beyond the basic attribution and location.

Among the casualties associated with the attack, the material notes that the fathers of the two discharged brothers was killed. The siblings’ discharge is framed in the same reporting cycle as the broader incident, linking their recovery and release to the October 10 attack at the Riyadh airport.

Various outlets carried follow-on casualty updates related to Indians among those affected, with the Times of India reporting that the Indian death toll had risen to 14 at one point, citing an embassy update. The update noted that one more Indian who had been in intensive care had died in hospital, with the identity of the most recent deceased not disclosed in that update. The Times of India also provided a breakdown indicating at least 11 Indian injuries, including two in ICU, two in general wards, and seven discharged.

Gulf News corroborated that a critically injured Indian national in intensive care had died, bringing the Indian death tally in West Asia to 24, according to the Indian Embassy in Riyadh. The report reiterated the embassy’s commitment to assist with repatriation or funeral arrangements in Riyadh per the family’s wishes, as the broader toll continued to be assessed by authorities.

The Indian Express echoed the casualty accounts, stating that two Indian nationals were killed and ten were injured, while stressing that authorities would investigate the circumstances surrounding the attack and that concerns for Indian citizens in the region persisted as investigations proceeded. Scroll.in reported two Indian nationals dead, citing embassy and hospital sources, and noted ongoing embassy assistance for affected families as authorities continued to monitor the situation.

The Times of Israel framed the event in terms of India’s involvement, noting that an Indian citizen died from wounds sustained in the Riyadh airport attack and that the attack was attributed to Yemen’s Houthis. The report described the attack as a ballistic missile strike directly hitting the airport complex, and identified the location as Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport, with a single fatality confirmed in that piece.

NewsCord provided an official Yemeni Armed Forces claim that the attack on King Khaled International Airport used a ballistic missile and identified the target as the Riyadh airport. The report attributed direct accountability to the Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, but did not include further details about timing, casualties, or outcomes within the supplied material.

The Tribune and WION both reported casualties among Indian nationals as part of their wider coverage: The Tribune corroborated the embassy’s confirmation of a second Indian death who had been critically injured and in ICU, aligning with earlier notices of Mohammed Yousuf Ali’s death and his funeral in Riyadh, while WION described the event as breaking news and cited two Indian national fatalities and ongoing investigations, without adding new casualty specifics beyond those confirmed figures.
