A projectile struck the passenger terminal at Riyadh airport on Sunday, marking a second attack on the facility in less than a day. The Saudi-led coalition, which is engaged in a conflict with Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, reported the incident. The attack targeted the same complex that houses terminal facilities, though details remain unclear.
The strike followed a missile attack on the same airport the previous day, which killed 12 people. No immediate information was provided about the latest incident, including the type of projectile used or the extent of damage. The Saudi-led coalition has not yet commented on the attack, but it has previously stated that the United States has accepted some of its peace terms in the Yemen conflict.
The repeated attacks on Riyadh airport highlight the ongoing tensions between the Saudi-led coalition and Iran-backed groups. The conflict in Yemen, which has been ongoing since 2015, has seen frequent clashes and attacks, with both sides accusing each other of escalating hostilities. The recent strikes underscore the fragile and volatile nature of the situation, with civilian infrastructure becoming a target in the broader regional conflict.
