Saudi Arabia's aviation network is facing mounting security concerns after an attack struck King Fahd International Airport (DMM) in Dammam on Sunday, October 11, 2026, as the death toll from a deadly attack on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport (RUH) rose to 13. Yemen's Houthi movement claimed responsibility for the earlier Riyadh strike, while it had also targeted Dammam, escalating a campaign against Saudi infrastructure amid intensifying regional hostilities. Saudi authorities are assessing the damage, while reports of intercepted missiles and drones have added to concerns about the security of the kingdom's airports. Reuters' report on the attacks provides further details.
