News about Yemen

The management of the 99-storey Kingdom Centre in Riyadh has told all office staff to work remotely until further notice, without giving a specific reason. The move came a week after an attack on Riyadh's international airport that killed 13 people, amid escalating Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia. The same day, the Saudi-led coalition said two pilots died when a helicopter suffered a technical failure near the Yemen border, while the Houthis claimed they shot down an Apache, with no independent evidence published. The Yemen conflict has flared again after about four years of truce, with the Houthis seizing positions along the Red Sea and declaring a maritime blockade of Saudi Arabia.
