  "account": "An attack at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, resulted in 12 deaths and over 300 injuries on Saturday. The Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation confirmed the casualties, which included nationals from four different countries. The airport and surrounding operations were later suspended. The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen also reported a projectile hitting near King Fahd International Airport in Dammam. Medical sources in Riyadh indicated a serious emergency situation, with injured individuals being transported to various hospitals. Several Western embassies in Riyadh advised citizens to avoid the airport, with the US embassy confirming awareness of the attacks. The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have not claimed responsibility immediately but later tweeted a reminder about pre-approved humanitarian flights at Riyadh airport.",
  "summary": "Officials said at least 12 people were killed in a strike on King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. The airport had already been targeted multiple times this week.",
