  "account": "On Tuesday and Wednesday, the kingdom's civil aviation authority reported attacks on Abha International Airport and King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, as Yemen's Houthis claimed responsibility. The attacks resulted in the deaths of three individuals and left 36 wounded. Egyptian and Algerian nationals were among the casualties at Abha airport, while a Sudanese national was killed at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. The Saudi-led coalition destroyed the missile launch platform used in the Riyadh attack. Yemen's internationally recognized government recently declared a major counter-offensive, pushing Houthi fighters out of strategic areas along the Red Sea and in Mocha port city. However, the Houthis maintain they still control their territory.",
  "summary": "Two were killed at Abha airport and one at King Khalid airport in Riyadh, with 36 people reported wounded in the attacks.",
