Jazan and Najran Airports Targeted

The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) said that King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Jazan and Najran International Airport were targeted on Monday evening, October 5.

The incidents affected two major airports in southern Saudi Arabia, prompting an immediate response from emergency teams and relevant authorities.

Three People Injured in the Attacks

Three people sustained slight injuries in the incidents and were taken to hospital for medical treatment.

Authorities also reported property damage following the attacks. GACA said it is coordinating with the relevant authorities to assess the extent of the damage and determine whether any airport facilities were affected.

Airport Safety Measures Activated

Following the Saudi airport attacks, authorities began procedures to verify the safety and security of airport facilities and ensure the continued protection of passengers.

GACA said measures were being taken to maintain passenger safety and protect the security of civil aviation operations at the affected airports.

Houthis Claim Attacks on Southern Saudi Arabia

The Houthis claimed late Monday that their forces had targeted several sites across southern Saudi Arabia, including airports and military facilities.

The claims came as fighting involving the group continues to intensify, increasing security concerns around southern areas of the Kingdom.

The latest incident follows previous attacks and attempted attacks targeting civilian infrastructure in southern Saudi Arabia. In an earlier incident, Saudi air defenses intercepted drones targeting Abha Airport and Najran.

Previous Houthi Attacks on Saudi Airports

Southern Saudi airports have previously been targeted by Houthi missiles and drones. King Abdullah International Airport in Jazan has also been affected by earlier attacks, including an incident in which a hostile projectile caused injuries and minor property damage.

Other attacks have also targeted civilian aviation facilities in the Kingdom. Previous incidents involving Abha International Airport resulted in injuries among passengers and other civilians.

Authorities Continue to Monitor Airport Security

Saudi aviation authorities are continuing to coordinate with emergency and security agencies to assess the impact of the latest Houthi attacks on Saudi airports.

Ensuring the safety of passengers, airport personnel and civil aviation facilities remains a priority as authorities respond to the latest security incidents in southern Saudi Arabia.
