In a separate advisory, King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh urged travellers to check the status of their flights directly with airlines before heading to the airport.
The advisory came as Saudi authorities announced the interception and destruction of three Houthi ballistic missiles, including two launched toward Riyadh and a third targeting Khamis Mushait.
