India Condemns Riyadh Airport Attack That Killed 12, Injured 11 Indians
India strongly condemned the missile attack on Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on October 10, which killed 12 people and injured over 300, including 11 Indian nationals. The Ministry of External Affairs described the repeated strikes on civilians and infrastructure as "completely unacceptable" and called for an immediate cessation.
