  "summary": "King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh was subject to a new attack on Sunday afternoon, according to the General Authority of Civil Aviation. The strike resulted in at least one death and 11 injuries. While Arutz Sheva - Israel National News and DW News report the deceased was a Pakistani national, the New Straits Times reports the Indian embassy confirmed an Indian national injured in the attack has died.\n\nA spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen’s Houthis stated that an unidentified projectile struck Terminal 4, causing a fire, and that a cruise missile was intercepted by air defense systems near the airport. The Houthis claimed responsibility for the strikes, stating they targeted the Riyadh airport multiple times, Dammam airport, and two Aramco facilities using drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles. Saudi authorities also confirmed an attack on Dammam airport on Sunday evening.\n\nThis Sunday strike follows an attack on Saturday that killed 12 people and wounded more than 300 others, which DW English (Top Stories) noted left the Riyadh airport closed. The Saturday strike was the deadliest such attack on Saudi Arabia in over a decade.",
