Korea has raised its travel advisory for Saudi Arabia to Level 3, the second-highest level, due to escalating clashes between Saudi forces and Houthi rebels. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the upgrade on Sunday evening, covering all regions of Saudi Arabia. The ministry advised Korean citizens to leave the country if possible and urged those with travel plans to cancel or postpone their trips.
This decision came after Foreign Minister Cho Hyun held a meeting with 15 Korean diplomatic missions across the Middle East on Sunday afternoon. Cho highlighted that recent fighting between Saudi Arabia and Houthi rebels has intensified, with direct strikes on civilian infrastructure like airports resulting in multiple casualties.
He emphasized the need for diplomatic missions to remain vigilant and respond swiftly to the evolving security situation and regional power dynamics.
