According to CoinMeta, the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia issued a security alert on October 25th local time, urging non-essential government employees and their families to evacuate Saudi Arabia due to increased security risks in the region. The announcement stated that Houthi militants have recently attacked Saudi civilian airports and other critical infrastructure, causing civilian casualties and severe disruptions to transportation, and that such hostile actions could escalate rapidly. Americans in Saudi Arabia were warned that airports there could be targeted, leading to possible closures of airspace and cancellations of flights. Travelers were advised to confirm flight status directly with airlines and airports.
