  "summary": "The Saudi civil defence issued an all-clear in Riyadh on Saturday, following alerts for potential danger in the capital and Al-Kharj, east of the city, amid an increase in attacks by Houthis in Yemen. The alerts were the first for Riyadh since Houthis in Yemen intensified their attacks on Saudi Arabia. Reuters reported hearing two booms in Riyadh's Olaya area. The Houthis, who control much of northern Yemen, have been launching attacks on Saudi Arabia since declaring a naval blockade in July, targeting vessels in the Red Sea. The UN Security Council condemned \"Houthi attacks against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including attacks impacting civilian and energy infrastructure, which have resulted in the injury of civilians, including women and children.\"",
