Saudi authorities announced on Wednesday evening that one Saudi national was killed and eight others injured in an attack on King Fahad International Airport in Dammam, located on the Persian Gulf near Bahrain and Qatar. The airport sustained material damage and led to the diversion of flights. Flightradar24 reported that flights were redirected away from the airport overnight on Thursday.
The Saudi Civil Aviation Authority intercepted four drone attacks in the Eastern region. This incident follows a previous attack on the same airport and part of a broader series of Houthi missile and projectile strikes targeting major Saudi airports. The Iranian-backed Houthis have not commented on this specific attack. Earlier in the day, two people were killed and others injured in an attack on a Saudi oil facility, with the victims identified as Nepali and Filipino nationals, and injured individuals as Pakistani and Indian nationals. The incident also led to a fire caused by falling debris.
