The King Khalid International Airport was evacuated on Saturday after a strong explosion occurred nearby, and airport authorities activated security protocols and began evacuating passengers and staff.
A brief alert asked travelers to check directly with their airlines for flight status, more than 12 ambulances responded to the terminal, and passengers were evacuated; the incident follows another event at the same airport two days earlier in which three Saudi citizens, including a pilot, were killed, and the airport has been identified as a target of attacks linked to the Saudi‑led coalition’s offensive against Houthi rebels in Yemen.
