Two killed in Houthi attack on airport in eastern Saudi Arabia, authorities say
It is the latest in a series of attacks by the Houthi movement targeting airports and other sites in the kingdom.
Yemen's Houthi movement has said it carried out an attack on an airport in eastern Saudi Arabia on Wednesday evening, which Saudi authorities said killed two people and injured eight others.
The Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation identified those killed at King Fahd International Airport in Dammam as a Saudi citizen and an Indian resident.
It did not say what type of attack occurred, but the Iran-backed Houthis said on Thursday that the airport was one of the sites they had targeted with drones and missiles over the previous 48 hours.
The Houthis also reiterated on Thursday that they had attacked Saudi Arabia in retaliation for deadly Saudi air strikes on the territory they control in western Yemen.
