The sustained military conflict is causing significant disruption to regional travel and business operations. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has delayed a series of global events scheduled for October. Furthermore, the attacks have led to flight delays at Jeddah airport, and authorities have advised against travel to certain areas of Saudi Arabia.

Houthis have been engaged in sustained, reciprocal military conflict with Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea region, following an offensive by Saudi-backed Yemeni forces to recapture Houthi-held areas.
