  "account": "Yemen's Houthi rebels issued a fresh warning on Sunday to airlines, travelers, and airport personnel to avoid Saudi airports following a deadly attack in Riyadh. The attack, which killed 12 people and injured over 300 others, marked the deadliest incident in the kingdom since the 2010 Iran-backed Houthi siege of the capital. Houthi spokesman in a statement urged everyone to heed the warnings, with exceptions for airports in Mecca and Medina. The Houthis blamed Saudi Arabia for any failed interceptions. Saudi Arabia has increased military involvement in Yemen, striking the Houthis and backing a government counteroffensive after the group claimed strategic territory along the Red Sea coast. President Trump suggested the United States might join Saudi strikes against the Houthis. The Saudi-led coalition confirmed a projectile had also fallen near King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, and reported intercepting a drone in the region. Despite the closure of King Khalid International Airport, the five-day WPC Energy Congress proceeded in Riyadh, with over 70 ministers, 300 executives, and 25 international organizations participating. The next day, Saudi authorities announced in-person classes would shift to remote learning for a week following the attack.",
