Reuters: Saudi passenger plane "severely damaged in fire at Riyadh airport" Reuters news agency quoted people informed as saying that a passenger plane belonging to Saudi Airlines was badly damaged by fire while it was parked in one of Riyadh airport's terminals. Reuters says people briefed on the incident told the news agency that the damage was likely caused by shrapnel or a direct bullet hit. The counterattacks of the Houthis in Yemen and the military coalition led by Saudi Arabia have increased in recent weeks. The sources said that it appears that the plane was empty of passengers at the time of the accident, but the possibility of casualties in this accident cannot be ruled out. The Ministry of Communications of the Government of Saudi Arabia, the Civil Aviation Organization of this country and the Saudi Airlines Company did not comment on this matter.
