The US embassy in Jordan has instructed American nationals in the region to exercise caution amid the escalating conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Houthi rebels, Al Jazeera reports.

“Be aware of potential flight cancellations, airspace closures and travel disruptions,” the embassy says in an advisory.

Iran and aligned groups “may target other US interests overseas or at locations associated with the United States and Americans throughout the world, including US businesses and other institutions”, it warns.

“US citizens should continue to monitor information from the Jordanian government about specific threats and follow instructions, including sirens and other warnings. Please also monitor all US embassy travel advisories and guidance,” the embassy adds.
