A fresh attack hit Riyadh airport on Sunday, killing one and injuring 11, according to local reports. This follows a missile strike the day before that killed 12 people. The Saudi-led coalition confirmed a projectile struck a passenger terminal, targeting the same complex housing terminals.
The first attack on Saturday killed at least 13 people, including civilians and security personnel. The Saudi-led coalition attributed the attack to Houthi rebels, who have been fighting in Yemen. The second strike occurred less than a day later, hitting the same terminal area.
US President Donald Trump said Washington was considering joining Saudi strikes against the Houthi rebels. The US has been a key ally of Saudi Arabia in the Yemen conflict. Australia also condemned the Houthi strikes, which have targeted Saudi territory.
Iran has expressed dissatisfaction with the US response, stating that while some peace terms were accepted, the reply was deemed inadequate. The Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, have been accused of launching attacks on Saudi soil.
The attacks mark a continuation of the ongoing conflict in Yemen, where Houthi rebels have been fighting Saudi-led forces. The situation has escalated tensions between regional powers, with Iran and Saudi Arabia at odds. The attacks have raised concerns about regional security and the humanitarian impact of the conflict.
The Saudi-led coalition has not provided details on the latest strike, but it has previously claimed responsibility for attacks on Houthi positions. The conflict has resulted in thousands of casualties and displaced people, with international calls for a ceasefire.
