Two Saudi officials have confirmed that a missile struck the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, causing injuries to numerous individuals. The incident occurred two days after three Saudi citizens were killed at the same location. Eyewitnesses reported hearing loud explosions and ambulances rushing towards the airport.
