Saudi Arabia’s General Directorate of Civil Defense said debris from intercepted missiles injured two people and damaged buildings and vehicles in the south, adding a civilian toll to the coalition’s Oct. 25 interception reports.
The directorate identified Khamis Mushait and Ahad Rafidah as the locations where fragments landed. It said the injured were a Saudi citizen and an Asian resident, and that three residential buildings and seven vehicles were damaged.
The Saudi Press Agency carried separate Saudi-led coalition announcements of missile interceptions that day; EconoTimes previously detailed the reports.
Reuters reported that King Khalid International Airport assigned domestic flights to Terminal 1 and international flights operated by national carriers to Terminal 2 from Oct. 25. Houthi military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree had warned airlines and travelers against using the airport in an Arabic-language post on X. An English rendering reproduced by Yemen Press Agency quoted Saree calling it “a military target for our forces.”
The United Nations-brokered truce formally ended Oct. 2, 2022. Reuters reported that renewed fighting has broken the period of relative calm that followed.
