Saudi Arabia Faces Escalating Attacks On Civilian Airports
The death toll from a targeted attack at King Fahd International Airport in Dammam has risen to two, with eight others injured, according to the General Authority of Civil Aviation. The attack is part of an escalating series of incidents against Saudi Arabia, including a recent missile strike on King Khalid International Airport that killed at least twelve people. The Saudi Arabian government has not confirmed who carried out the attack, but Houthi rebels have been responsible for similar incidents in the past. The UK has pledged to deploy RAF Eurofighter Typhoon fighters to protect Saudi cities and critical national infrastructure. The US Department of State has also issued an ordered departure for non-emergency US government employees and their family members in Saudi Arabia. The situation was first reported by AeroTime.
