What happened

Reuters reported a Saudi-led coalition statement that an unidentified projectile struck Riyadh airport and caused a fire on 11 October. A cruise-missile interception nearby was also reported; the relationship between these events is unresolved. AP described a passenger-terminal impact and reported a Houthi claim. No new casualty total was established. The previous day’s 12 deaths and 309 injuries are recorded separately. This marker references the airport, not a verified impact point.

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.
