  "summary": "The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has condemned an attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh as \"treacherous terrorist attacks\". According to the GCC Secretary-General, Jasem al-Budaiwi, the repeated targeting of this civilian facility embodies a criminal pattern rooted in terrorising peaceful civilians and endangering the lives of travellers and workers.\n\nThe attack, which was blamed on Yemen's Houthis by the Saudi-led coalition, resulted in at least 12 deaths and 309 injuries, with some reported to be in critical condition. The victims included citizens from several countries, including Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, the US, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, and Sudan. The coalition described the strike as a \"full-fledged war crime\".\n\nThe incident prompted authorities to suspend operations at Riyadh's international airport, and foreign embassies warned their citizens to avoid the facility. Health officials activated a mass call-up of doctors to deal with the emergency. The Malaysian Foreign Ministry reported that there were no Malaysian casualties and was providing consular assistance to stranded Malaysians.",
