Saudi airports and an oil field in Saudi Arabia were attacked in separate strikes, with at least one death and multiple injuries reported. The attacks highlight ongoing tensions with the Iran-backed Houthis, who have targeted Saudi infrastructure in recent months.
The attacks include a drone strike on an Aramco oil field that killed two people and an attack on King Fahd International Airport in Dammam that left one dead and eight injured. The Houthis have targeted Saudi airports and other infrastructure, with at least 17 people killed in attacks on Riyadh alone.
The U.S. has increased security measures in Saudi Arabia, ordering nonessential government personnel to leave the country due to the risk of further violence. The Saudi-led coalition has intercepted multiple drones in the eastern region, and the kingdom has postponed its flagship conference due to the ongoing conflict.
The Houthis have been attacking Saudi Arabia from Yemen, with recent strikes targeting energy facilities and airports. The group has claimed responsibility for some attacks, including a claim that Saudi Arabia attacked a yacht carrying Indians in the Red Sea.
