The US Mission in Saudi Arabia has issued a nationwide security alert urging Americans to exercise “heightened vigilance,” citing an increased threat of attacks by Houthis, Anadolu reports.
The mission says Houthi attacks on civilian airports and other critical infrastructure in Saudi Arabia have “caused civilian casualties and severe travel disruptions”, warning that hostilities could spread “rapidly”.
“Please take extreme caution if you choose to use airports in Saudi Arabia,” the mission adds, urging travellers to confirm their flight status directly with both their airline and the airport.
