Saudi civil aviation says one killed, eight injured in attack on King Fahd airport
Saudi authorities said the attack was part of a broader Houthi campaign against airports and energy sites, with operations later resuming after safety checks.
- On Wednesday evening, an attack struck King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, temporarily suspending operations as authorities assessed damage to the facility.
- Escalating drone and missile strikes by Houthi rebels targeting Saudi airports and energy infrastructure preceded the incident, including a separate drone interception at the Shaybah oil field earlier Wednesday.
- Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation confirmed two people died in the Dammam strike, identifying them as a Saudi citizen and an Indian resident, while eight others remain hospitalized.
- Citing escalating hostilities, the U.S. State Department ordered non-emergency diplomatic personnel and their families to depart Saudi Arabia on Wednesday amid potential security threats.
- The Indian Embassy in Riyadh urged nationals to stay alert and shelter indoors, as attacks underscore persistent vulnerability of the kingdom's critical infrastructure and civilian populations.
