Single source: Houthis say they targeted King Fahd International Airport in Dammam

Single source · King Fahd International Airport, Saudi Arabia · 2026-10-29

The Houthis claim they targeted King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Eastern Province, in a statement by spokesman Yahya Saree, as part of a claimed series of attacks on Saudi refineries and airports. Outlets relaying the claim describe the weapon as a drone, while one Telegram post says a ballistic missile. Saudi authorities have not confirmed the attack. One unsourced energy-market article says an attack caused casualties at the airport, a figure no other source gives.

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.
