Subscribe to the Winrad Dispatch: https://winradradio.substack.com/ October 11, 2026. Something struck King Khalid airport in Riyadh yesterday. Twelve dead, more than 300 wounded, the worst attack on Saudi Arabia in a decade. And yesterday's Zaporizhzhia figure of twelve has finished at twenty, a correction we carry on air. Tonight's report: • Riyadh: twelve killed at King Khalid airport, 309 wounded in the body of the reporting. Four Saudis and one each from the US, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Sudan, Egypt, plus two Bangladeshis. The third attack on that airport in a week• On the weapon, Saudi authorities have not said.
