  "summary": "Three attacks on airports in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia have left at least 12 dead and over 300 injured. The capital's King Khalid Airport, along with other infrastructure, has been targeted by drones and missiles since a Saudi-led coalition launched a military offensive against Houthi rebels in Yemen. The Iranian-backed Houthis claimed responsibility for the attacks, which began on Wednesday. Operations at King Khalid Airport have been suspended, causing hundreds of flights to be cancelled. The US embassy in Riyadh has strongly recommended all US citizens avoid the airport and surrounding areas.",
