  "summary": "The Saudi Arabia General Authority of Civil Aviation announced that a Pakistani national was killed and 11 others were injured during an attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Sunday afternoon. The attack caused property damage, and the injured were evacuated for medical treatment. A spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition reported that a projectile struck the airport, sparking a fire, while air defenses intercepted a cruise missile nearby.\n\nThe Houthis claimed responsibility for the strikes, stating they had carried out four operations over the previous 24 hours using drones and ballistic and cruise missiles. The group stated they targeted the Riyadh airport multiple times, as well as Dammam airport and two Saudi state oil company Aramco facilities.\n\nThe Sunday strike followed an attack on Saturday at the same airport that killed at least 12 people and injured hundreds. New Straits Times reported that Saturday's attack was the deadliest on Saudi soil in more than a decade.",
