The airport is in Dammam, which is near the headquarters of oil giant Saudi Aramco. For weeks, Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi militia has been attacking the kingdom’s aviation and energy sectors.
The Iranian-backed militia struck with ballistic missiles deep in government-held central Yemen, in what appeared to be among the deadliest attacks of the renewed war.
A still from a social media video verified by The New York Times as from Al Alam camp in Shabwa Province, Yemen, after officials said Houthi strikes killed dozens of Yemeni soldiers on Monday.
The attack came after the Yemeni militia warned it would attack the headquarters of Aramco. The Saudi-led coalition said it was targeting Houthi capabilities.
The Saudi authorities said they intercepted two missiles targeting Riyadh, a day after they said Houthi strikes on airports in the kingdom killed three people.
