The United States has issued a security alert to its citizens, urging extreme caution when travelling by air to Saudi Arabia due to potential further attacks on airports. The warning follows recent missile and drone strikes that have suspended operations at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, as well as some delays and cancellations at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah and King Fahd International Airport in Dammam.
The US Mission to Saudi Arabia has advised Americans to verify flight status directly with airlines and airports, remain alert to the possibility of further attacks, and follow national emergency warnings issued by Saudi Arabia's Civil Defence through mobile phone alerts. Alternative travel options have been suggested, including private cars, trains, and buses, with travelers advised to confirm availability and schedules directly with transportation providers.
