A second missile attack in two days has hit Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, killing one person and injuring 11 others.
Saudi military representatives confirmed that a projectile struck Passenger Hall No. 4 on Sunday, triggering a fire inside the facility, according to official statements cited by the BBC.
Aviation authorities identified the deceased as a Pakistani national residing in Saudi Arabia. Air defence systems intercepted another incoming missile near the airport.
The latest attack follows a deadlier strike at the same location a day earlier, which reportedly killed 13 people and injured more than 300.
Yemen’s Houthi movement claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying it used ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones to target the airport, eastern oil infrastructure and Dammam airport.
Houthi military officials also warned commercial airlines and passengers against using Saudi airspace and airports, threatening further attacks across the country.
The strikes mark a sharp escalation in regional hostilities following the collapse of a fragile two-year truce earlier this year.
The attacks have drawn international condemnation and raised concerns about the potential for wider regional instability, prompting several foreign governments to issue urgent travel warnings for the area.
