Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Two people killed, eight injured in attack on Saudi airport in Dammam, according to Saudi authorities. Debris from an intercepted drone also caused casualties at an Aramco-operated oil field in Yanbu.

The attack on King Fahd International Airport in Dammam occurred on Wednesday evening. The victim included a Saudi citizen and an Indian national. The attack also targeted the Saudi Defence Ministry and Aramco facilities in Yanbu.

The attacks highlight the ongoing conflict in Yemen and its impact on Saudi Arabia's strategic interests. The Houthis have been a persistent threat to Saudi Arabia's security and economic interests in the region.

The Houthis have warned against Egyptian involvement in the conflict, citing potential threats to Saudi national security. The Saudi Crown Prince has sought military assistance from the United States, but President Trump did not agree to U.S. strikes against the Houthis.
