Part of the roof at Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport collapsed onto people after a missile strike, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing Saudi officials. RIA Novosti relayed the account.

The newspaper said missiles hit terminals 3 and 4 and caused substantial damage. Helicopters were used to evacuate wounded people. The report gave no separate casualty figure for the roof collapse.

Associated Press also reported a missile hit the complex housing domestic terminals 3 and 4, citing a regional official. The details concern the October 10 attack previously reported by Saudi aviation authorities.
