Two individuals lost their lives and eight others sustained injuries in an attack on King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, eastern Saudi Arabia, on Wednesday evening, according to the kingdom’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA). Among the deceased were a Saudi national and an Indian resident, while the injured comprised Saudis, Indians, Yemenis, Bangladeshis, and Nepalese nationals.
The nature of the attack remains undisclosed by the GACA. Prior to this incident, two people were killed in Dammam due to debris from a drone intercepted over Eastern Province, where Dammam is located. The drone was aimed at a Saudi state oil company Aramco processing facility in the Shaybeh oil field, resulting in the death of a contractor's vehicle.
Two more drones were intercepted on Wednesday night. Houthi movement, backed by Yemen, has repeatedly targeted Saudi airports with drones and missiles.
