A projectile struck the passenger terminal at Riyadh airport on Sunday, marking the fourth attack on the facility in five days. The incident occurred less than a day after a missile strike killed 12 people and injured hundreds. The airport, which has been closed since the previous attack on Saturday, remains under disruption.
The Saudi-led coalition, which is fighting Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, reported the latest strike. The attack targeted the same terminal complex that housed multiple facilities. No immediate details were provided about the extent of damage or casualties from the latest strike.
The Houthi group, supported by Iran, has been accused of launching attacks on Saudi targets. Iran has previously denied involvement in such strikes. In a separate development, Iran stated that the United States had accepted some of its peace terms but called the response “inadequate.” The ongoing conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia has seen frequent attacks on Saudi infrastructure, with Riyadh airport becoming a frequent target.
The attacks have raised concerns about regional security and the potential for further escalation. The Saudi-led coalition has continued its military operations in Yemen, where Houthi rebels have been active for years. The repeated strikes on Riyadh airport highlight the volatility of the situation and the ongoing tensions between Iran and its regional adversaries.
