The attack targeted the airport in the eastern region, with initial reports indicating the militant group deployed projectiles against the facility. Saudi authorities confirmed the fatalities but did not provide additional details regarding the nature of the assault or extent of damage sustained.
The Houthi movement, based in Yemen, has intensified its assault on Saudi Arabian targets in recent months. Airports have featured prominently among the group's objectives, reflecting a broader strategy to strike at key infrastructure within the kingdom.
The attack comes as regional tensions remain elevated. The Houthis, who control significant portions of Yemen's population centers, have demonstrated capability to launch strikes deep into Saudi territory using various weapons systems.
Saudi Arabia has maintained an active air defense posture and has conducted military operations in Yemen aimed at countering the group's capabilities. The airport strikes underscore the persistent security challenge posed by the militia to civilian and commercial infrastructure across the peninsula.
