  "account": "Saudi Arabia's civil defence lifted all-alerts on Sunday in multiple areas of the oil-rich Eastern Province, including Dhahran, Dammam, Abqaiq, and Al-Ahsa, following a brief warning of potential danger. The Eastern Province, home to the majority of the kingdom's oil and gas reserves and the headquarters of Saudi Aramco, had previously been under threat from Houthi missiles and drones. The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen reported intercepting a ballistic missile launched by Houthi forces towards the Eastern region shortly after the all-clear was given. The Houthis have been targeting Saudi airports, ports, and oil installations, straining Saudi Arabia's relations with its US ally amidst a conflict that began with the US and Israel attacking Iran in February.",
  "summary": "Saudi Arabia's civil defence agency had earlier issued alerts warning of potential threats in Dhahran and Abqiaq amid the ongoing conflict with the Houthis.",
