Houthi attack on Riyadh airport on Saturday: at least 12 dead and more than 300 injured, according to Saudi authorities

It is the second attack on the airport in 48 hours. The Houthis threatened more attacks on Saudi airports; oil was already trading near US$92.

A missile attack attributed to the Houthis hit King Khalid airport in Riyadh on Saturday, October 10. According to Saudi authorities, cited by the Financial Times, The New York Times and the Mirror, at least 12 people died and more than 300 were injured. Infobae speaks of 309 injured and of four Saudis and one American among the dead; La Nación of Paraguay initially reported only “dozens of injured,” and Moncloa reported suspended flights.

Infobae notes that Saudi Arabia did not officially confirm all the information and that the Iran-backed group had not claimed Saturday’s attack. On Thursday, October 8, another attack had left three dead, including a Saudia pilot (Infobae, Moncloa). The Houthis then threatened new attacks on airports. DailyDrop found no direct effect on Peru, but oil, held up by the tension in Hormuz, closed on Friday at US$91.85.

On Friday, Prime Minister Luis Galarreta had told the committee that what the Chamber of Deputies approved “is not enough.” Correo reported that Senator Humberto Morales said he “did not understand” the session because there are only two matters under debate.

Ukraine hit a Russian oil terminal after the diesel deal, and Trump said “it is time” for Ukraine to have a new president

A fire broke out in the early hours of Saturday, October 10 at the Yug Rusi oil terminal, which serves the Neftezhájinsk refinery, in Rostov, hours after the call between Trump and Putin, according to La Tercera, UnoTV and Canal 26, citing the channel Astra. The figures differ: one report speaks of more than 100 drones shot down and another of more than 50; local authorities reported six injured.

Trump criticized Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries and said, according to Río Negro and Ámbito, that it is time for Ukraine to have a new president. Zelensky had called the diesel deal unbecoming of an ally. Trump authorized Russian diesel operations until April.

Trump lashed out on Truth Social at the Nobel Peace Prize: said the U.S. should have received it and that he has ended eight wars

After it emerged that the Norwegian Committee had given the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to Navi Pillay, Trump posted messages on Truth Social, one late on Friday and another on Saturday morning, according to La Jornada, Diario de Tabasco, Yahoo News, The Daily Beast and MS NOW. He said he deserved the prize for having ended eight wars, called the decision an “indelible stain” on Norway and questioned Pillay: “nobody has heard of her,” according to the outlets.

On Saturday he listed achievements, among them the capture of the former president of Venezuela, and wrote that the U.S. should have received the prize. Fact-checkers cited by the press point out that some of the conflicts he counts are disputed, among them the one between Israel and Iran, which according to one source he himself reignited in February.
