A suspected attack has reportedly hit an airport in Saudi Arabia’s capital, with evacuations sparked by the incident. The available information does not specify the nature of the suspected attack, the extent of any damage or whether there were casualties.
The reported incident occurred a day after Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for two deadly attacks on Riyadh airport. Those claims preceded the latest reports of activity at the airport, but no further details have been provided about any connection between the incidents.
Riyadh is the capital of Saudi Arabia and has previously been the focus of claims involving attacks by the Houthis, who are based in Yemen. The latest reports indicate that people were evacuated from the airport, although the scale of the evacuations and any disruption to flights or airport operations remain unclear.
Further information is needed to establish what happened, whether the suspected attack caused casualties or damage, and whether the airport has reopened or remains affected.
