One dead, 11 injured in fresh attack on Riyadh airport
One person was killed and 11 others were wounded in a fresh attack at Riyadh's international airport, Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority said.
In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a fresh attack at the international airport resulted in one death and 11 injuries, according to the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA). The GACA announced the fatality was a Pakistani resident, while 11 others suffered injuries. This incident follows a previous strike on Riyadh's airport by Iran-aligned Houthis, which claimed responsibility for the attack that killed 13 people and injured over 300 others.
Saudi-led coalition forces stated that an unidentified projectile targeted Terminal 4 of Riyadh's international airport, causing a fire. The Saudi civil aviation authority is currently assessing the damage. The coalition forces also reported intercepting a cruise missile near King Khalid International Airport and destroying a drone in the Eastern Province.
The recent attacks have raised concerns about the vulnerability of Saudi defense capabilities amidst the ongoing air campaign against the Houthis in Yemen.
