New Casualties Reported in Attack on Riyadh Airport in Saudi Arabia

A new projectile hit the passenger terminal of King Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh, on Sunday. A missile attack the previous day had left 12 people dead. Saudi authorities reported that one Pakistani citizen was killed and 11 people were injured in the latest attack.

Second Attack on Riyadh Airport

The domestic terminal complex of King Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh, was shaken on Sunday by a new projectile impact. This event occurred right on the heels of a missile strike that hit the same terminal a day earlier, causing 12 deaths.

It was announced by Saudi authorities that a Pakistani citizen lost their life in the latest attack and 11 people were injured. The airport, which has been targeted four times in the past five days, remains closed following Saturday's deadly assault.

Regional Tension and International Dimension

This sharp escalation was announced by the Saudi-led coalition fighting against the Iran-backed Houthi rebel groups in Yemen. The Houthis stated that they assumed responsibility for the attacks targeting the airport.

The Indian Embassy in Saudi Arabia reported that a citizen injured in Saturday's attack passed away on Sunday, thereby updating the casualty toll from the previous day's incident. It was also reported that King Fahd International Airport in Dammam was subjected to an attack.

Oil Shipments and Diplomatic Contacts

This military escalation endangers global oil supply and prices, as well as the security of commercial maritime shipping in the Persian Gulf. Experts draw attention to the risks of the situation regarding regional stability.

It was announced that the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia and Iran held a phone conversation late Sunday. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned against insisting on military approaches.
