  "account": "Saudi Arabian fighter jets targeted Yemen's Sana'a airport on Saturday in response to a recent attack on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport. The Houthi militia claimed responsibility for the attack on the Yemeni capital's Sana'a airport, which left 12 people dead and over 300 injured. The assault marked a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Iran-backed Houthis. Saudi Arabia had been striking Sana'a airport since July, aiming to prevent Houthi aircraft from landing in the capital. At least four Saudi nationals, two Bangladeshi citizens, a Palestinian, a US citizen, an Egyptian, a Jordanian, a Syrian, and a Sudanese were among the casualties reported. The attack caused damage to the airport and suspended operations while authorities assessed the damage. The Saudi-led coalition condemned the assault as a terrorist act and demanded an immediate end to the violence. International leaders, including US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and UN Secretary General António Guterres, expressed their strong condemnation of the attack, emphasizing that such acts targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure are violations of international law.",
