France 24 reported that Saudi authorities announced the suspension of operations at the airport after the attack, which reportedly left several people injured. However, the available information does not make it possible to establish a precise toll: some sources speak of multiple injuries, while the Financial Times reports that dozens of people were involved.
The headlines in India Today and the New Indian Express also report that the airport was evacuated again and that flights or air traffic were halted after the new attack and the explosions.
The available evidence does not identify the perpetrator of the latest attack. France 24 noted that the Houthis had not claimed a new attack on Saturday; however, this does not make it possible either to attribute responsibility for the incident or to rule anyone out.
Deutsche Welle described the airport as the target of multiple attacks over the course of the week, amid intensifying fighting between the Yemen-based Houthi rebels and a Saudi-backed coalition.
According to France 24, an earlier Houthi attack on the airport, which took place on Thursday, caused three deaths and damaged an aircraft. That report concerns the previous incident and does not establish who was responsible for the new attack on October 10.
The Financial Times described the most recent incident as a missile attack. The other sources provided use more general terms, such as attack, strike or explosions, and do not make it possible to independently confirm the type of weapon used.
The available sources confirm the suspension of operations but do not indicate how long it will last. The duration of the flight disruption and the exact number of people injured therefore remain to be clarified.
