Saudi Arabia announces one dead and one injured following Sunday's attack on King Khalid Airport

The Saudi Civil Aviation Authority said on Monday that the attack that targeted King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Sunday afternoon resulted in the death of one person and the injury of 11 others, in addition to material damage. The authority explained in a statement that "the attack resulted in the death of a resident of Pakistani nationality and the injury of 11 others. They were immediately transferred to the hospital to receive the necessary health care."

The statement added: "The attack also resulted in material damage, which is being assessed." Yemen is witnessing battles between the Houthis and the forces of the internationally recognized government in various regions of Yemen. The Houthis also targeted the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including King Khalid International Airports in Riyadh and King Fahd International Airports in Dammam.

The Houthi group said earlier on Sunday that it had carried out, during the past 24 hours, 4 “specific operations” against Saudi sites, most notably King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, warning against using Saudi airspace with the exception of “the airports and airspace of Mecca and Medina.” Saudi Arabia has already announced that King Khalid Airport was subjected to attacks that resulted in deaths and hundreds of injuries, in addition to targeting King Fahd Airport in Dammam.

The Houthis also warned "all international companies, all experts, employees, workers and travelers from all countries of the world against the consequences of operating flights towards Saudi airports, as they are unsafe, except for the airports and airspace of the holy areas in Mecca and Medina." The Saudi Civil Aviation Authority announced, on Sunday, that the attack that targeted King Khalid Airport earlier on Saturday resulted in the deaths of 12 people, including 4 citizens and 8 of different nationalities.

The authority explained in a statement that “the brutal attack... resulted in the death of 12 people, including 4 citizens and 8 residents: two of Bangladeshi nationality, and one each of American, Egyptian, Jordanian, Syrian, Palestinian, and Sudanese nationalities.”

Later Sunday, the Indian Embassy in Saudi Arabia announced the death of one of its citizens injured in the attack, bringing the death toll to 13 people.
