RIYADH, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Many people were wounded in a blast at Riyadh's international airport on Saturday, according ‌to two eyewitnesses and two people briefed on the matter, and travellers ‌were evacuated from parts of the facility.

One of the eyewitnesses reported seeing an explosion and then ​seeing multiple people lying injured on the ground inside the airport. More than a dozen ambulances were seen rushing to the airport.

The Saudi government's media office and the Saudi civil aviation authority did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the ‌incident.

Saturday's incident comes amid an ⁠escalation of missile strikes by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis on the kingdom. The airport has already been attacked twice this week, leaving ⁠four people dead and others wounded, and badly damaging an aircraft.
