Several people have been injured in a new attack launched this Sunday by the Houthis against King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, just a day after they caused twelve deaths and more than 300 injuries in another offensive against the same facilities on Saturday.
"King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh has been the target of a new attack this afternoon, Sunday, October 11, 2026," the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) reported in a statement.
"The attack has caused injuries and an assessment of the damage and verification of the security of the facilities is currently being carried out in coordination with the competent authorities," it added.
Hours earlier, the coalition led by Saudi Arabia in support of the internationally recognized Yemeni government had reported the impact of a projectile of yet undetermined origin at Terminal 4 of the passenger airport in Riyadh, an incident that caused a fire.
"The fire resulting from the aggression and the site are being directly investigated by the competent authorities," the spokesperson for the military coalition added in a message posted on social media.
In a subsequent communication, the coalition stated that the air defenses managed to intercept and destroy a cruise missile in the vicinity of Riyadh airport.
Later, GACA reported another attack against the airport in the city of Dammam, on the coast of the Persian Gulf, without providing information at the moment about possible material damage or casualties.
"On the afternoon of Sunday, October 11, 2026, King Fahd International Airport in Dammam has been attacked in a new aggression against civil aviation facilities," the agency published. "The security assessment is underway in coordination with the relevant authorities," it added.
The Yemeni Houthi militias have claimed responsibility for the attacks on Saturday against the airports of Riyadh and Dammam in Saudi Arabia, as well as against facilities of the Saudi state oil company Aramco, which they present as retaliation for the "massacres" attributed to Saudi aviation on Yemeni territory.
Meanwhile, the fighting continues in Yemen between the Houthi forces, who dominate the north and center of the country, including the capital, Sana'a, and the troops of the government recognized by the international community, based in Aden. This same Sunday, the Houthis have reported airstrikes against the airport of Sana'a, with no casualty figures released so far.
