Saudi Riyadh Offices Mandate Remote Work Amid Increased Houthi Attacks
Saudi government agencies and major offices in Riyadh, including the Kingdom Centre skyscraper housing the International Monetary Fund, have instructed employees to work from home amid increased missile and drone attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels. The remote work orders, effective immediately and until further notice, follow recent intensified strikes, including a deadly attack on Riyadh airport on October 10 that killed 13 people. Security concerns have led to evacuations of government offices in central Riyadh and financial districts.
