One person was killed and eight others were injured in an attack on King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, according to the country’s civil aviation authority.
The General Authority of Civil Aviation said the injured victims, whose conditions ranged from minor to critical, were taken to hospitals for treatment on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, two people were killed after Saudi air defences intercepted a drone targeting a facility at Saudi Aramco’s Shaybah oilfield.
The attacks are part of a series of assaults on Saudi Arabia amid escalating tensions between Houthi forces and Yemen’s internationally recognized government, which is backed by Riyadh.
Meanwhile, the United States has ordered diplomats and their family members to leave its missions in Saudi Arabia amid concerns over further Houthi attacks. The US Embassy in Riyadh also issued a security alert warning of possible additional assaults.
