Saudi Arabia Reports Casualties Following Consecutive Attacks on Riyadh Airport
Saudi aviation authorities confirmed that a projectile strike on King Khalid International Airport resulted in one death and 11 injuries. This incident follows a larger attack on the same facility the previous day that caused significantly higher casualties.
On Sunday, a projectile struck King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, resulting in one fatality and 11 injuries, according to the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority. The impact reportedly hit two passenger terminals, triggering a fire at the site. This event occurred just one day after a separate strike on the same airport, which officials reported left at least 12 people dead and over 300 injured.
Yemen’s Houthi movement, also referred to as Ansar Allah, has claimed responsibility for both the Saturday and Sunday attacks. While the Saudi authorities have confirmed the casualty figures and the nature of the damage, the specific type of projectile used in the Sunday strike was not detailed in the initial reports. The back-to-back nature of these strikes represents a significant escalation in the ongoing regional conflict, targeting critical civilian infrastructure in the Saudi capital. There is currently no information regarding the identities of the victims or the operational status of the airport following the fire.
