What happened
Al Jazeera reports that the Houthis’ 29 October statement claimed multiple missiles fired at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. Saudi coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki said air defences intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles fired towards the capital, and Saudi Civil Defence said falling shrapnel wounded one person and damaged a house and a vehicle in Riyadh. Neither statement places the shrapnel at the airport, and no airport damage or flight disruption is established. The marker is an airport reference.
