  "account": "Riyadh International Airport was hit by a missile attack on Saturday, according to a diplomatic source, leaving dozens of people injured and prompting evacuations. The assault occurred around 3:00 pm local time, though Saudi authorities did not confirm the incident or the evacuations themselves. A witness recounted seeing shattered glass and people running in panic. At least five individuals were hospitalized with injuries, including broken shoulders and arms. The Houthi group, an Iran-backed militia, has been accused of targeting civilian installations, including Saudi airports, oil facilities, and ships. This marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, with Riyadh leading an international coalition supporting Yemen's government.",
  "summary": "Saudi authorities did not confirm any new attack or evacuation, but one witness reported hearing an explosion and another witnessed a strike that wounded several people.",
