One person was killed and 11 others were injured after Riyadh International Airport in Saudi Arabia came under another attack on Sunday, a day after an earlier strike on the same airport killed 13 people and injured more than 300 others.
According to Saudi authorities, an unidentified projectile struck Terminal 4 of the airport, sparking a fire.
Meanwhile, four Filipinos were also injured in the earlier attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.
Department of Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac said three of the injured Filipinos remain in the intensive care unit, while the fourth is expected to be discharged from the hospital.
The Saudi-led coalition also reported that its air defense systems intercepted a cruise missile near King Khalid International Airport, a drone in the Eastern Province, and a ballistic missile heading toward Khamis Mushait.
The Iran-backed Houthi group claimed responsibility for Saturday’s attack.
According to its spokesperson, Yahya Saree, the group also targeted King Fahd International Airport in Dammam and two Saudi Aramco facilities.
Authorities are continuing to assess the damage and safety of airport facilities in Dammam following the successive attacks.
Several foreign authorities have also issued travel advisories amid rising tensions in the region.
