Attack on Dammam
British–Saudi military clash in 1866
The Attack on Dammam was an 1866 assault by the British ship HMS Highflyer to destroy a fort held by the Second Saudi state in the vicinity of Dammam following Faisal's invasion of Oman, which was allied with the British. The attack ultimately failed due to the lack of adequate preparatory measures by the British expedition.
