Saudi Arabia's main airport was once again attacked by the Houthis on Sunday. The day before, the airport was attacked, killing 12 people, putting tremendous pressure on the Middle East's largest economy as the country prepares to host large-scale events aimed at boosting foreign investment. The Saudi-led coalition forces said in a statement that an unknown projectile hit a passenger terminal at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Sunday, and authorities are putting out the fire. Coalition forces are fighting against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. The Houthis quickly claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was a response to “Saudi aggression,” which included the attack on Sana'a Airport in the Yemeni capital. According to the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority, 1 person was killed and 11 were injured as a result of the attack. The coalition forces also said that the air defense forces intercepted a missile near the same location in the Saudi capital. More than 300 people were also injured in the previous attack on King Khalid International Airport on Saturday. This was the single worst casualty incident in Saudi Arabia since the outbreak of the war in Iran in February. Also, the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority posted on social media platform X that King Fahd International Airport in Dammam was attacked on Sunday evening. Authorities have indicated that the 25th World Petroleum Conference and related events, which were originally scheduled to be held from Sunday to October 15, will be held as scheduled. In addition, Riyadh is also planning to host a future investment initiative event later this month, the most important event for investors in Riyadh.
