Attack Strikes Major Saudi Airport

One person has died and eight others were hurt after a strike hit an international airport in Dammam, a city in eastern Saudi Arabia. Reuters reported the news, citing the Kingdom’s General Authority of Civil Aviation.

“One person died, eight injured as a result of attack on King Fahd airport in Dammam on Wednesday,” the agency said.

Fighting Between Houthis and Saudi Arabia Picks Up Again

Clashes between Houthi forces and Saudi Arabia have grown more intense since August. This came after a four year period of relative calm between the two sides.

The Houthis began striking Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea around that time. They say this was payback for the Yemeni army’s shelling of Sanaa airport. Riyadh backs that army in the ongoing conflict.

Tensions in the region have stayed high in recent weeks. Just a day earlier, Houthi forces claimed a separate strike on a Saudi military headquarters in Aden.
