  "account": "On Sunday, the Yemeni group Houthis launched a fresh attack on Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport, marking a day after a deadly strike that killed at least a dozen people. The assault, the deadliest on Saudi soil in over a decade, was a significant escalation in the Yemen conflict where the Saudi-led coalition supports the internationally recognized government. Multiple attacks were reported within 24 hours, including a strike on King Khalid International Airport, causing fires and injuring numerous individuals. Saudi Arabia's air defenses managed to intercept a missile near the airport. The civil aviation authority confirmed injuries but reported that a comprehensive damage assessment is underway. The coalition also reported shooting down a drone in the east. The Houthi group has since threatened to continue targeting the kingdom's transit hubs, describing them as \"a theatre of operations for our forces.\" The attack drew condemnation from the United Nations and world leaders, with Saudi Arabia vowing to respond decisively. Four individuals from various nationalities were killed and 309 wounded, including an Indian embassy citizen. Authorities suspended airport operations until further notice, with damaged radar and communications equipment requiring assessment.",
