  "account": "Yemen's Houthis have issued a new threat to Saudi Arabia's airspace following a deadly attack on the kingdom's international airport in Riyadh. The attack, which killed 12 people and wounded hundreds, is the deadliest on Saudi soil in over a decade. The incident has escalated tensions in the Yemen war, where Saudi Arabia supports the internationally recognized government against the Houthi rebels, who recently captured portions of the Red Sea coastline. While the Houthis have not claimed responsibility for the attack, they have threatened further strikes on Saudi airports, except for the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis condemned the attack as a \"full-fledged war crime.\" The incident prompted a rare mass call-up of doctors, school closures in Riyadh, and warnings from several world leaders, including US President Donald Trump, to reconsider joining Saudi strikes against the Houthis.",
