  "account": "Upgraded security warnings have been issued by the United States Embassy in Saudi Arabia regarding the Houthis, a group supported by Iran, which has launched attacks on Saudi Arabia, including the international airport in Riyadh. The embassy announced the heightened security risk on Sunday, explaining that the U.S. State Department has ordered government personnel not involved in emergency tasks and their families to leave Saudi Arabia as of October 23. The Houthi group, which controls the capital Sanaa and other regions since 2014, resumed its operations last week after the cease-fire agreed upon in 2022 failed to hold. Apart from the aviation sector, the group has also targeted Saudi energy facilities. The conflict has the potential to spread widely beyond the conflict zone, according to the embassy's warning. The U.S. Embassy first announced the directive for personnel involved in the conflict to leave the country, which was made public on Wednesday. The international airport in Riyadh partially reopened on Sunday for domestic flights and some international services operated by Saudi airlines. However, the embassy warned citizens of the United States about the possibility of further attacks, airspace closures, and flight cancellations, urging them to remain vigilant while using airports in the country. The U.S. government personnel now need to verify specific information regarding any airport in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, the Houthi group reiterated its threats against the Riyadh airport, warning that it remains a target for attack, even though some operations have been suspended as of October 10. Saudi Arabia also launched additional missiles and drones against the Houthi group on Sunday during their ongoing conflict.",
