Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Two people were killed and eight injured in an attack on King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, according to officials. The attack, which occurred on Wednesday evening, has raised concerns about ongoing tensions with the Houthi group.

The victims included a Saudi citizen and an Indian national, with injuries ranging from minor to severe. The attack is believed to be linked to the Houthi movement, which has a history of targeting Saudi airports with drones and missiles.

The Houthi group has been escalating attacks on Saudi infrastructure, with at least 21 people killed in such incidents since October. The conflict between the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition has intensified, with both sides accusing each other of attacks on military and civilian targets.

The Houthi group has claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that they are retaliating against Saudi military actions in Yemen. The conflict has had significant implications for regional stability and global oil prices.
