Kebakaran tercetus di lapangan terbang Riyadh selepas terkena projektil

A series of explosions erupted at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Sunday after being hit by an unidentified projectile, according to Anadolu Agency, citing a coalition led by Saudi Arabia. The authorities are managing the fire at the scene, but have not provided details about the extent of the damage or any casualties.

The coalition also reported that their air defense system successfully intercepted and destroyed a missile near the airport. However, they did not explain if the missile that struck the terminal was related to the projectile that hit the terminal or if any party was responsible for the attack. The incident occurred a day after an attack on the same airport which resulted in 12 deaths and 309 injuries, according to figures released by Saudi Arabian civil aviation authorities between Saturday night and Sunday morning.

Saudi Arabian authorities announced on Saturday that operations at the airport would be suspended until the extent of the damage and safety checks were completed, in coordination with relevant authorities. King Khalid International Airport was also targeted in two attacks on Thursday, both of which targeted its terminal and a Saudi Arabian Airlines plane.

The authorities announced on Friday that the attacks resulted in the deaths of three Saudi nationals and injuries to several citizens and nationals from various countries, in addition to causing property damage. The previous attacks targeted King Khalid and King Abdulaziz International Airports on October 6 and 7, respectively, killing three people, including nationals from Morocco, Algeria, and Sudan, and injuring 36 others, according to Saudi Arabian authorities.

This latest incident has increased the number of attacks on King Khalid International Airport to five in a week, according to estimates by Anadolu based on official Saudi statements. Saudi Arabian authorities have not identified anyone responsible for the attacks, but the Houthi group announced on Thursday that they targeted King Khalid International Airport with a ballistic missile.
