Avoid Some Regions
UK FCDO: Exercise increased caution There are reports of continued missile and drone attacks in the Eastern Province and Riyadh Province. There is a risk of shrapnel from intercepted missiles and drones falling across the region and causing further disruption. We advise British nationals in Saudi Arabia to exercise increased caution. If you are advised to take shelter, stay indoors or find the nearest safe building and take hard cover. An interior stairwell or a room with as few external walls or windows
