  "account": "On Saturday, October 10, King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was targeted in an attack involving a missile strike on a passenger terminal, resulting in several injuries, according to reports from Saudi officials. The airport had previously been hit earlier in the week, but there was no immediate claim of responsibility from the Iran-aligned Houthi rebels, who are suspected of carrying out the assault. The U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia alerted American citizens to avoid the airport and surrounding areas, while Canadian, German, and Spanish embassies also warned their citizens against traveling to the site. Flightradar24 reported significant disruptions to air travel, with flights being diverted to other airports and passengers being advised to check their flight statuses prior to departure.",
  "summary": "There was no immediate statement from the Houthis claiming responsibility for Saturday’s incident.",
