DAMMAM - The Hill reported that an attack on an airport in Saudi Arabia by the Iranian-backed Houthis killed one person and injured eight others, and that officials confirmed the figures on Wednesday.

According to The Hill's report on the attack, Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation said in a statement that the rebel group targeted King Fahd International Airport in the eastern city of Dammam on Wednesday evening.

BBC News reported a different death toll, saying two people were killed in the attack on the airport in eastern Saudi Arabia, according to authorities. Its summary does not give a count of the injured.

BBC News also described the attack as "the latest in a series of attacks" by the Houthi movement, which it said have targeted airports and other sites in the kingdom.

The two accounts differ on the number of deaths: The Hill cited one, and BBC News cited two. The Hill reported eight people wounded, while the BBC News summary does not state an injury figure, so the sources reviewed do not settle the final toll for either category.

The sources reviewed for this report contain no further details beyond those cited above, including on the condition of those wounded or on any response to the attack. The BBC summary's reference to a series of attacks is the only mention in either summary of earlier incidents, and neither summary names the other sites targeted.

Sources: The Hill: 1 killed, 8 wounded in Saudi Arabia airport attack; BBC News: Two killed in attack on airport in eastern Saudi Arabia, authorities say.
