Summary

Attacks on King Fahd International Airport in Dammam and Saudi Aramco's Shaybah oil field resulted in 2 deaths and 8 injuries. At the airport, two people were killed including an Indian national, and eight others were injured. At the Shaybah oil field, a drone was intercepted by Saudi air defenses, causing debris to fall and triggering a fire that killed two foreign nationals (reported as a Nepali and a Filipino) and injured two others. Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Energy has not confirmed the incidents. The Houthi movement claimed responsibility for multiple operations against Saudi assets. Airport operations resumed with air traffic returning to normal, while damage assessment at the airport continued.
