Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi group struck King Fahd International Airport in Dammam on Wednesday, killing two people and wounding eight others, Saudi authorities reported.

The attack targeted the major facility in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province and came amid a series of Houthi missile and drone strikes on Saudi airports throughout October. Those assaults have killed a total of 21 people and injured more than 370, according to compiled reports.

Saudi civil aviation officials confirmed the casualties at Dammam, where operations faced disruption but assessments of further damage continued. This incident follows earlier strikes on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport that produced the bulk of the fatalities, including a deadly October 10 attack that killed at least 13.

The Houthis have claimed responsibility for multiple operations against Saudi civilian airports and military sites, warning airlines to avoid Saudi airspace. Saudi-led coalition forces have intercepted several projectiles and vowed decisive responses to the targeting of civilians.

The latest violence forms part of the broader spillover from the 2026 Iran conflict, with Houthi actions escalating after Saudi-backed forces advanced against the group in Yemen. Airport operations at affected sites have seen repeated interruptions, though some facilities resumed normal service shortly after prior incidents.

Saudi officials described the attacks as terrorist acts against civilian infrastructure and emphasized ongoing efforts to defend the kingdom's territory and population.
