[UPDATED] One dead, 11 wounded in Sunday attack on Riyadh airport

A Houthi attack on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport on Sunday resulted in one death and 11 injuries, the Saudi civil aviation authority reported. The attack came a day after a deadly strike that killed at least a dozen people in the kingdom, marking the deadliest assault on Saudi soil in over a decade. The Houthis, an Iran-backed group, claimed multiple strikes over the past 24 hours, including on the airport and threatened to continue targeting the country's transit hubs, describing them as a "theater of operations for our forces."

The Saudi-led coalition reported that a projectile struck the airport, causing a fire, and that anti-aircraft defenses intercepted a nearby missile. The airport's closure was extended by 24 hours until 9:00 PM GMT on Monday, with damage assessment ongoing. Other airports, including Dammam, also reported attacks. The UN and world leaders condemned the attack, while witnesses described chaos and serious injuries.
