On October 10 of this year, two citizens of Uzbekistan sustained minor injuries as a result of a ballistic missile attack on Terminal 3 of the King Khalid International Airport in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.

According to reports, the Uzbek citizens born in 1977 and 1997 (R.N.X. and T.N.M.) received initial first aid and were taken to Diriyah Hospital. Following a medical examination and necessary treatments, both were discharged from the hospital.

According to preliminary data, about 20 other Uzbek citizens who were in the airport area at the time of the incident were not injured. "The Embassy of Uzbekistan in Riyadh is monitoring the situation in cooperation with the relevant authorities of Saudi Arabia, maintaining constant contact with our citizens and providing necessary consular assistance," the report says.

Recall that on October 10, Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen attacked the international airport in Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh. As a result, at least 12 people were killed and another 309 were injured.

Also, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan strongly condemned the attack by Houthis on the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. At the same time, Uzbekistan Airways announced that despite the attack on the airport in Saudi Arabia, flights from Tashkent to Jeddah and Medina are being operated according to the confirmed schedule.
