The death toll from an attack targeting King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, has risen to two individuals, according to statements released by the nation's civil aviation authority on Thursday. Authorities confirmed that one of the two victims killed in the incident was an Indian national.
The facility has faced similar threats in the past amid a broader pattern of Houthi missile and projectile attacks directed at major aviation hubs across Saudi Arabia. Previous regional security incidents include an earlier strike targeting the King Khalid Airport in Riyadh.
Civil aviation officials and emergency personnel have continued to monitor the security situation surrounding the country's major transport infrastructure following the latest escalation.
