The US Mission in Saudi Arabia issued a security reminder on the 21st saying that the Houthis in Yemen continue to carry out hostilities against Saudi Arabia, attacking civilian airports and other critical infrastructure, causing civilian casualties and serious interference with travel. “These hostilities may rapidly escalate and spread.” The mission said that US citizens should follow the nationwide alerts issued by the Saudi Civil Protection Department via mobile phones. In view of recent frequent attacks on airports in Saudi Arabia, US government workers in Saudi Arabia must obtain special authorization from the head of mission if they need to use any airport in Saudi Arabia. The mission reminds US citizens to be wary of potential risks such as airport attacks, airspace closures, flight cancellations, and travel disruptions. “Be very careful when choosing to use an airport within Saudi Arabia.”
