Official security footage from the Riyadh airport blast video released by the Saudi media ministry shows the moment a powerful strike hit an international terminal on Saturday, killing 13 people and wounding hundreds of travellers. The incident took place as passengers and pilgrims waited in transit queues, causing structural damage across the terminal hall.
Footage reveals chaos inside passenger terminal
The newly released surveillance recording captures pilgrims dressed in white garments waiting in line for routine document verification when the blast struck. The force of the explosion dislodged large sections of the ceiling, bringing debris down directly onto travellers in the hall.
In the Riyadh airport blast video, airline gate staff are seen taking cover under their desks as shocked passengers scramble away from the point of impact. Thick smoke and airborne debris quickly fill the camera frame, obscuring the departure lounge before a sudden flash of fire becomes visible amidst the panic.
Official restrictions and casualty toll
Saudi authorities confirmed that the Saturday strike caused significant riyadh airport attack casualties, leaving 13 individuals dead and hundreds of others injured. While the government shared the security footage through its media ministry, officials have cautioned witnesses against discussing the incident publicly, warning of potential legal penalties.
Independent reporting on the aftermath remains constrained, as authorities have restricted media access to the affected airport site. No independent access to the terminal has been permitted following the strike.
