Saudi Arabia’s aviation authority confirmed that King Fahd International Airport in Dammam was attacked Sunday evening, with damage assessments and safety inspections underway. Earlier Sunday, an unidentified projectile struck Terminal 4 at Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport, causing a fire and injuries. Saudi air defenses separately intercepted a cruise missile near the airport.
Yemen’s Houthis claimed four operations over the past 24 hours targeting the two airports and Aramco’s Shedgum gas facility and Tanajib oil refinery, using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones. The group warned airlines against using Saudi airports, except those serving Mecca and Medina. Saturday’s attack on Riyadh airport killed 13 people and injured more than 300.
