On Sunday, an attack on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport killed one person and injured eleven others, following an attack the previous day that left 13 dead and more than 300 injured. Additionally, a projectile hit Dammam airport late Sunday night, causing a fire near parked aircraft but no immediate reports of casualties. The attacks are attributed to Yemen's Houthi rebels who also claimed responsibility for targeting Saudi Aramco facilities in the Eastern Province.

Story summary
On October 7, Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for attacks on two airports in Saudi Arabia, including Abha International Airport and King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. The attacks resulted in the deaths of three people: an Egyptian and Algerian national at Abha airport, and a Sudanese national at King Khalid International Airport. Additionally, 36 individuals were injured across both incidents. In response to these claims, Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority confirmed the attacks but did not attribute blame. The Saudi-led coalition fighting against Houthi forces stated they intercepted a ballistic missile near Riyadh and destroyed a launch platform used for previous attacks. These events represent an escalation in the ongoing conflict between the Houthis and the Yemeni government backed by Saudi Arabia, pulling the kingdom deeper into the war.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
