Saudi authorities said a projectile struck a domestic terminal at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Sunday, killing a Pakistani national and injuring 11 people. The Houthis claimed responsibility. This was separate from Saturday’s attack at the same airport. India’s embassy said an Indian citizen died Sunday from injuries sustained then, raising that attack’s toll to 13. Saudi authorities also reported an attack on King Fahd International Airport in Dammam but provided no details.
