Passenger terminal at Saudi Arabian capital's airport is struck again, a day after 12 were killed

A projectile struck the passenger terminal at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, targeting terminals 3 and 4 for domestic flights, according to the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthi rebels in Yemen.

The strike came a day after a missile attack on the same terminal killed 12 people, with authorities reporting no immediate details about the latest attack.

Reports indicate the Houthis claimed responsibility for attacks on Saudi aviation and other facilities in the region, including airports and oil facilities, as part of their wider campaign.

The Saudi airport remained closed following the latest strike, with authorities and regional observers noting the broader escalation in the conflict and its potential impact on global oil supplies and maritime routing.

Houthis have warned airlines and travelers against using Saudi airports and airspace, asserting they are vulnerable to attack, while indicating exemptions for airports in Mecca and Medina.
