  "account": "On Sunday, a deadly attack occurred at Riyadh's international airport, claiming one life and injuring 11 people in addition to the initial fatality. This incident followed a Houthi strike the previous day that killed 13 people and wounded over 300 in the same location. Saudi authorities reported that an unidentified projectile targeted Terminal 4 of Riyadh's international airport, causing a fire. Coalition forces in Yemen confirmed that a cruise missile had been intercepted near King Khalid International Airport and that a drone was destroyed in the Eastern Province, while another ballistic missile was intercepted en route to Khamis Mushait. Emergency alerts were issued in Abha, a city in the south, but the threat had since subsided. The deadly attack exposed vulnerabilities in Saudi defense capabilities amid the kingdom's ongoing air campaign against the Houthis, who are engaged in a ground war in Yemen against the Saudi-backed government. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed responsibility for the attack on Saudi Arabia's international airport and also stated that the group had struck the airport in Dammam and two facilities of Saudi Aramco. The Saudi government's media office and Aramco did not respond to requests for comment.",
  "summary": "One person was killed and nearly a dozen hurt in a new attack on Riyadh's international airport on Sunday, Saudi authorities reported, a day after a strike claimed by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis that killed 13 people and wounded more than 300.",
