Dammam airport attack kills one, Saudi authority says
An attack targeting King Fahd International Airport in Dammam killed one person and injured eight others on Wednesday evening, Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority said.
The authority said the injuries ranged from minor to serious. It also said material damage to the airport in eastern Saudi Arabia was being assessed.
The authority did not describe what type of attack occurred or identify who was responsible.
Saudi airports have been repeatedly targeted by projectiles in recent days by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis, but the supplied statement did not attribute the Dammam attack to any group.
Uncertainty notes
The type of attack on Dammam airport was not described.
Responsibility for the Dammam airport attack was not identified in the supplied material.
The scale of material damage remained under assessment.
