Saudi authorities say King Fahd International Airport in Dammam has been attacked, with few details

Saudi authorities said that King Fahd International Airport in Dammam had been attacked, according to a Sunday statement. The city of Dammam lies on the Persian Gulf near Bahrain and Qatar.

The report notes that the attack followed earlier claims of strikes on the Saudi capital’s airport complex and other facilities. A Flightradar24 monitor indicated at least one flight diverted from the airport in Dammam.

The Houthis, described as Iran-backed rebels from Yemen, have been asserting a series of attacks on Saudi airports and other facilities in the region over the past week. The latest statements include claims of attacks on King Fahd Airport in Dammam.

Details on casualties, injuries, or specific aircraft involved have not been provided in the available material. The reporting states that there were injuries at Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport complex in a separate attack, but does not specify outcomes for Dammam.

This update comes amid broader regional tensions and ongoing Saudi-led coalition actions in Yemen, with the potential wider impact on civilian aviation and regional security dynamics. No further specifics about the Dammam incident were disclosed in the material.
