Corroborated · Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ·
The Saudi-led coalition says the Houthis have launched 20 attacks on Riyadh airport (King Khalid International) since October 1, according to Arab News. Its spokesman, relayed by Tasnim News, says a Yemeni missile attack on King Khalid International Airport killed 17 people. Crypto Briefing, Time Magazine and FOX16 report attacks on Saudi airports or a survivor of an airport attack, but give no dates, airport names or casualty figures, and none independently confirms the coalition's casualty claim.

Verification
Corroborated: 2 independent sources.
Sources disagree on:
- Arab News attributes 20 attacks since October 1 on Riyadh airport to the coalition, while Crypto Briefing and Time refer to attacks on Saudi airports in the plural with no dates or airports named.
- Tasnim relays the spokesman's claim that a missile attack killed 17 people at King Khalid International Airport; no other source gives a death toll, and FOX16 reports a survivor and wounded people without a figure.
- Attacker wording differs: 'Yemeni armed forces' in the Tasnim relay versus 'Houthis' in the Arab News, Crypto Briefing and Time items.
Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
