Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport came under a fresh attack on Sunday, leaving one Indian dead and 11 injured, a day after a deadly strike on the Saudi capital’s main airport killed 13 people and wounded more than 300, according to reports.
The latest attack set fire to Terminal 4 after an unidentified projectile struck the passenger terminal, the Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen’s Houthi rebels said. Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) confirmed that the attack caused injuries and said authorities were assessing the damage and inspecting airport facilities for safety. The airport remained closed following the attacks. Reuters
The death toll from Saturday’s attack rose to 13 after an Indian national succumbed to injuries. The initial strike killed 12 people and injured 309, according to Saudi aviation authorities. The victims included Saudi citizens and foreign nationals, including people from Bangladesh, the United States, Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Sudan and Palestine.
Yemen’s Houthi group claimed responsibility for Saturday’s attack and said it had also targeted Dammam airport in eastern Saudi Arabia and facilities belonging to state-owned oil giant Saudi Aramco. The responsibility for Sunday’s projectile strike had not been established in the initial Saudi announcement.
The repeated attacks have raised serious concerns over civilian safety and the security of air travel in the Gulf. The Houthis renewed their warning to airlines, airport workers and travellers against using Saudi airports, while several countries condemned the strikes.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said an American citizen was among those killed in the earlier attack and called for the assaults to stop. UN Secretary-General António Guterres also condemned the strike, saying attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure violate international law.
The escalation comes as Saudi Arabia continues its military campaign against the Houthis in Yemen, where the group is fighting forces aligned with the internationally recognised government. The latest attacks risk widening the conflict and further disrupting regional aviation and security.
Saudi authorities are continuing to assess the damage and the impact on airport operations. Travellers have been advised to check directly with their airlines for updates on cancellations and flight schedules.
