US warns its citizens in Saudi Arabia to 'exercise extreme caution'

In the statement made by the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia, it was reminded that the attacks carried out by the Iranian-backed Houthis on civilian airports and critical infrastructures caused civilian casualties and serious travel disruptions.

In the statement, it was warned that the attacks could spread rapidly, and citizens who will use airports in Saudi Arabia were asked to exercise "utmost care" due to Houthi attack threats and to confirm their flight status directly with airline companies and airport authorities.

In the statement, it was stated that King Khalid International Airport in the capital Riyadh was partially reopened on October 23 for domestic flights and some international flights of Saudi airlines.

On the other hand, it was noted that the US State Department ordered government personnel and their family members who were not on urgent duty to leave Saudi Arabia on October 23.

It was reported that US government employees working in the country must obtain special permission from the chief of mission to use any Saudi airport and are prohibited from traveling to areas approximately 30 kilometers from the Yemen border.

In the statement, it was stated that all land border gates, including King Fahd, which leads to Bahrain, were open, and US citizens were advised to follow the emergency warnings issued by the Saudi Arabian Civil Defense.
