Riyadh is stepping up security precautions as Houthi attacks intensify, with officials confirming intercepted missiles over the capital, per kurdistan24.net.

Bloomberg reports that Houthi strikes have led to increased flight cancellations at Riyadh airport, reflecting growing concerns over regional instability.

The Saudi government has ordered non-emergency U.S. staff to leave the country due to escalating security risks, as fears of wider conflict grow, Reuters notes.

Despite the heightened tensions, some international events continue, such as WWE's Crown Jewel scheduled for Saudi Arabia, with no reported declines in star participation, per sports.yahoo.com.
