The spokesman for the Saudi-led military coalition has confirmed that King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh was targeted in an attack, after which fire broke out at passenger terminal 4.

According to Al Jazeera, the coalition official said an “unidentified projectile” hit Terminal 4 and a fire broke out afterwards.

He also claimed that air defences intercepted and destroyed a cruise missile near King Khalid International Airport.
