In an advisory first issued on 8 October 2026 and reiterated on 11 October, the embassy also urged Indian citizens to stay indoors when necessary and refrain from circulating or reposting videos or news related to the ongoing events.
The advisory comes amid reported attacks on airports in Saudi Arabia, including King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and Abha International Airport. The developments have raised security concerns and affected some flight operations.
The embassy assured Indian nationals that its mission in Riyadh, the Consulate General in Jeddah and their outsourced visa services through VFS were continuing to operate normally. It said further updates would be issued when necessary.
