Saudi-led coalition reports fresh attack on Riyadh airport

The Saudi-led coalition announced on Thursday that Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport has come under attack, marking the latest incident in a series of strikes on the kingdom's critical infrastructure.

The coalition, which has been engaged in military operations across the region for several years, stated that defensive systems were activated in response to the incident. The airport, a major hub for domestic and international air traffic serving the Saudi capital and surrounding areas, remains a frequent target of attacks.

No immediate details were provided regarding the extent of damage or whether there were any casualties from the attack. Airport operations and passenger traffic have weathered previous similar incidents in recent years.

The continued targeting of Saudi Arabia's strategic installations reflects the volatile security situation in the region, where various armed groups have claimed responsibility for previous strikes on infrastructure facilities across the kingdom.
