Yemen's Iran‑aligned Houthi rebels have intensified their campaign of strikes on Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh, this week, disrupting flights and prompting some office staff to work from home.
According to reports, the increased attacks have forced the Saudi Civil Aviation Authority to temporarily suspend or delay several domestic and international flights, creating a ripple effect across the city’s transport network.
In response to the heightened security threat, several Riyadh‑based companies have advised employees to work remotely until the situation stabilises, a precautionary measure aimed at protecting staff and maintaining business continuity.
These developments come amid the ongoing Saudi‑Houthi conflict, which has seen a surge in missile and drone attacks on Saudi infrastructure since the war began in 2015.
While the Houthis have not yet claimed responsibility for the latest strikes, the escalation underscores the fragile security situation in the region and the potential impact on Saudi Arabia’s economic and commercial activities.
