  "account": "RIYADH, Oct 12 — A fresh Houthi strike hit Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport, killing one person and wounding 11 others, a day after a deadly attack claimed by the Yemeni group. The assault, the deadliest on Saudi soil in over a decade, prompted the Saudi-led coalition to suspend operations at the airport. The Houthis, backed by Iran, have intensified their attacks on Riyadh airport and Saudi oil facilities, as well as on Saudi tankers in the Red Sea. Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority stated that the attack caused property damage and prompted the closure of King Khalid International Airport for 24 hours. The strike coincided with the beginning of the high travel season for Umrah pilgrims, with millions of Muslims from around the world flocking to Mecca. The UN and various world leaders condemned the attack, while the US, Canada, Germany, and Spain warned their citizens to avoid Riyadh airport, and Australia urged citizens to stay indoors.",
