According to a Bernama report carrying a Saudi-led coalition statement, 19 people were killed and 364 injured in Houthi attacks on Saudi airports, with a reported time of 15 October 2026. A separate Rerum Novarum // Intel Telegram post, dated 16 October, reports two Saudi soldiers killed in the past 24 hours along the Yemen-Saudi border and does not mention the airports. No official confirmation or independent corroboration of the airport casualty figures was found.

Sources disagree on:

• The Bernama item attributes 19 deaths and 364 injuries to Houthi attacks on Saudi airports, while the rnintel Telegram post reports 2 Saudi soldier deaths along the Yemen-Saudi border a day later; they describe different incidents, so the Telegram post neither corroborates nor contradicts the airport claim.
• The airport location is given only as 'Saudi Airports' with no named airport or city, and no other source in the set describes an attack on any airport.
