What happened

Al Jazeera’s 12:25 GMT liveblog entry on 22 October reports Yahya Saree claiming attacks on Abha International Airport among operations during the preceding 48 hours. The statement does not provide a precise attack time, verified impact location, damage, casualties or operational interruption for this target. This record tracks the attributed claim, not an independently established successful strike. The displayed date is the announcement date; the city-reference marker is not a geolocated impact.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
