  "account": "The Saudi-led coalition announced on Tuesday that it had intercepted and destroyed a drone launched by the Houthi rebels towards Riyadh. The coalition's air defenses shot down a ballistic missile and a cruise missile fired by the Houthis towards the Saudi capital, according to the Saudi Press Agency.\n\nMaritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz remains significantly below normal levels, though not entirely halted. According to the UK Maritime Trade Organization's latest weekly report, only about 65% of the pre-conflict transit levels were observed, with the majority of vessels opting for the Iranian route to the north.\n\nPresident Donald Trump stated on Monday that further military action against Iran may not be required, but emphasized that the United States remains prepared for any circumstances. He referred to the ongoing military engagement against Iran's regime as the \"greatest naval blockade in the history of our country, probably in the history of the world,\" noting its severe impact on Iran.\n\nA Republican lawmaker introduced articles of impeachment against US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of waging war without congressional authorization and abusing his powers as Pentagon chief. The move comes days after President Trump's party suffered a significant loss in the midterm elections.\n\nThe death toll from Houthi strikes in Yemen has risen to 44, with most casualties being women and children. The Houthi-run Health Ministry reported that 21 children and 10 women were killed in the attack on the village of al-Shariya, east of Sanaa, leaving 40 others wounded, including eight children and nine women. Schools in the Saudi capital Riyadh have been instructed to shift to online classes as Yemen's Houthis intensify their attacks on the kingdom.",
