A deadly series of airport attacks has left 14 people dead and hundreds injured after a second strike hit an airport terminal just one day after an earlier attack killed 13 people.
The latest incident occurred on Sunday, October 11, when an unidentified projectile struck Terminal 4 at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, according to reports. The impact reportedly sparked a fire, while authorities confirmed that one person was killed and 11 others were injured.
The attack came a day after a devastating strike on the same airport killed 13 people and wounded more than 300. The Yemen-based Houthi movement, which is aligned with Iran, claimed responsibility for the earlier attack.
Saudi-led coalition forces also reported intercepting additional incoming threats, including a cruise missile near the airport and a drone in the country's Eastern Province. The incidents heightened security concerns as authorities assessed the damage and worked to protect other vulnerable sites.
The renewed violence has also disrupted air travel, with airport operations affected and officials examining the security risks. The United States and United Kingdom issued travel warnings as tensions continued to rise.
Following the attacks, the Houthis renewed their warning to airlines, travelers and airport workers, urging them to stay away from Saudi airports and airspace. The group warned of further attacks if Saudi Arabia continued its military campaign in Yemen.
The back-to-back strikes have intensified fears of further escalation, with civilians and travelers caught in an increasingly dangerous situation. Authorities continue to assess the damage as regional tensions deepen.
The full implications of the attacks remain uncertain, but the latest deadly incident has raised fresh concerns about the safety of air travel and the possibility of further violence.
