  "account": "Houthi rebels in Yemen have launched a series of attacks on Saudi Arabia, including a missile strike on Riyadh's international airport that killed 12 people and injured over 300. The rebels have gained significant military capabilities with Iranian support, allowing them to target Saudi infrastructure, including oil facilities and ports. They have also taken control of territory along Yemen's Red Sea coast, including the port of Mocha and the island of Perim. Analysts attribute the Houthis' success to their increasingly sophisticated weaponry, organization, and the weakness of the internationally recognized Yemeni government backed by Saudi Arabia.",
  "summary": "The missile attacks that claimed victims at Riyadh's international airport over the past week have highlighted the growing military might of Yemen's Huthi rebels, who have evolved from an insurgency into one of the most formidable non-state armed forces in the Middle East.",
