The US Embassy in Saudi Arabia has issued an urgent security alert for US citizens, advising them to consider departing the country due to ongoing military operations.
Commercial flights are currently operating out of Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dhahran, but with significant cancellations and delays.
Americans are urged to visit airline websites for information on flight availability and to purchase tickets.
The Department of State is also coordinating flights out of the region and can manifest Americans who have completed the Crisis Intake Form.
US citizens are advised to shelter in place if they choose not to depart, with essential items such as food, water, and medications.
They are also urged to maintain communication with family and friends, keep a low profile, and stay aware of their surroundings.
