Muhammad bin Ahmed al-Shaalan (Arabic: محمد بن أحمد بن عبدالرحمن الشعلان) (died June 2015) was a lieutenant general and commander of the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) from 2014 up until his death during the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in the Yemeni civil war. In early June 2015, several Scud missiles were fired by the Houthis from Yemen and hit King Khalid Air Base, which serves as the center of the Saudi bombing campaign against them. Al-Shaalan was initially reported to have died in a heart attack outside the country by the Saudi Ministry of Defense, but it was later confirmed that he was killed in the missile attack.
