  "summary": "An attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, October 10, resulted in 12 fatalities and 309 injuries. The victims included four Saudi citizens, two Bangladeshis, and one national each from the United States, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, and Sudan, according to the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation. The injured were taken to hospitals for treatment, with some in critical condition.\n\nThe attack caused damage to airport facilities, with assessments ongoing to determine the extent of the damage. Airport operations were temporarily suspended to enable authorities to assess the damage, verify the safety of the facilities, and protect passengers, employees, and civil aviation infrastructure. Saudi authorities and the Saudi-led coalition blamed Yemen's Houthi group for the attack, although the group had not claimed responsibility.\n\nYemen's Houthis warned airlines, travellers, and airport workers on Sunday to stay away from Saudi airports, a day after the attack. The warning came amid an escalation of tensions in the region. The UN chief condemned the attack on the Saudi airport, demanding an end to strikes. Malaysia's Foreign Ministry also condemned the attack, expressing solidarity with Saudi Arabia and urging all parties to pursue a peaceful resolution through dialogue and diplomacy.",
