  "account": "A suspected Houthi missile strike at Riyadh international airport on Saturday killed two people and injured dozens, prompting authorities to halt airport operations. The attack, which follows a recent wave of strikes against Saudi targets, prompted health officials to call in doctors to handle the serious emergency. The casualties included an Egyptian flight attendant for a Saudi airline and a Palestinian with Egyptian travel documents. The Saudi civil aviation authority and diplomatic sources attributed the attack to a Houthi missile. Two doctors confirmed the deaths and the nationalities of the victims. The attack occurred close to Saudi Arabia's high-profile convention and entertainment season, with Riyadh set to host a packed calendar of events.",
