The latest strike comes a day after an attack that killed 12 people and injured around 300 others, including 11 Indians. India has strongly condemned the attacks.
The projectile hit the same airport complex that houses Terminals 3 and 4, which serve domestic flights.
Indian Embassy In Riyadh Monitoring Situation

The embassy said it was in contact with local authorities to check on the condition of the injured Indians. Its officials were also coordinating with hospital authorities and said further information would be shared as it became available.
Tensions Escalate Amid US Military Involvement
The attacks have intensified amid US military involvement in the region. US President Donald Trump has also said he is considering joining the fight against Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

Houthis Claim Responsibility For Riyadh Airport Attack
Yemen’s Houthis have claimed responsibility for the deadly attack targeting Riyadh Airport, according to a statement released by the group.
The Houthis also claimed to have launched strikes against Dammam Airport and Saudi Aramco facilities in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province. Saudi authorities have not yet confirmed these claims.
