Saudi Arabia Moves Riyadh Schools to Remote Learning Amid Houthi Missile Threats
Saudi Arabia has shifted schools in Riyadh to remote learning for a week amid heightened security concerns following missile and drone attacks by Yemen's Houthi forces. The Saudi-led coalition intercepted ballistic missiles and drones targeting the kingdom, including Riyadh and Khamis Mushait. Authorities sent notifications to parents about the school closures but did not explicitly link the move to the attacks. The situation reflects ongoing regional tensions involving the Houthis and their allies.
