Ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones were used, according to the group, which also claims a separate strike on Saudi forces near Ras al-Aar and al-Saqi. Airlines were warned against using Saudi airports.
4:22 PMRIYADH AIRPORT: Terminal 4 struck for the 2nd time in 24 hours. What we know so far. Saturday, October 10: A missile struck the domestic terminal complex at King Khalid International Airport, affecting Terminals 3 and 4 and triggering a mass evacuation. Saudi aviation officials reported at least 12 killed and 309 wounded, including several in serious condition. The dead included 4 Saudis, 2 Bangladeshis and citizens of the U.S., Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine and Sudan. Witnesses described a projectile approaching the airport before an explosion caused part of the ceiling near a departure gate to collapse. Sunday, October 11: Saudi coalition spokesman Turki al Malki said another projectile struck Terminal 4, igniting a fire. The extent of the damage remains unclear. No additional casualty figures have been released. Separately, the coalition reported intercepting a ballistic missile over Al Kharj, near Prince Sultan Air Base, while another projectile reportedly landed near King Fahd International Airport in Dammam. The wider picture: Attacks on Riyadh airport between October 8 and 10 killed at least 15 people and wounded more than 300. On October 8, 3 Saudis were killed in strikes targeting airport facilities and a Saudia aircraft. The Houthis claimed to have launched 2 cruise missiles at the airport. The Saudi coalition has described the attacks as a war crime and threatened a decisive response. President Donald Trump condemned the strikes and said he was considering U.S. participation in Saudi military operations against the Houthis. What remains unknown: Saudi authorities have not identified the weapon used in Sunday’s strike, confirmed whether Terminal 4 was occupied at the time, or released a new casualty assessment.

The airport is a civilian aviation facility, and no military installation has been identified within the terminal complex.
