On October 22, the Chinese Embassy in Saudi Arabia issued a consular reminder.
According to official reports from the Chinese Embassy in Saudi Arabia, early on October 22, the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority issued a statement stating that King Dammam Fatih International Airport was attacked in the evening of the 21st. The incident resulted in one death and eight injuries, with the extent of material damage still being evaluated. Additionally, according to official sources, a Qatar Airways aircraft was damaged in the attack, and one person on board was injured.
Over the past few days, airports and important facilities in Riyadh, Dammam, and other places have been continuously attacked by missiles and drones. There is currently no definite information regarding the resumption of operations at Riyadh King Fahd International Airport and some airports in southern cities. Flights at airports in other cities frequently experience significant abnormalities.
The Chinese embassies and consulates in Saudi Arabia once again remind Chinese-funded enterprises and citizens to enhance their awareness of safety precautions, reduce unnecessary outings, stay away from sensitive areas such as airports, oil facilities, and military bases. They should also avoid photographing military operations and sensitive facilities. It is recommended not to travel to Saudi Arabia by plane in the near future. Passengers who have purchased tickets should maintain close contact with relevant airlines and keep track of flight changes and information about airports. In case of disputes, it is important to retain relevant evidence and seek legal remedies rationally.
Those planning to travel by land from a third country into Saudi Arabia should be aware of the entry regulations of the relevant countries and carry important documents. When driving over long distances, it is essential to pay attention to traffic safety and follow traffic rules.
