European aviation regulators are warning airlines away from parts of Saudi airspace after a sharp rise in missile and drone attacks expanded the risk to civilian flights.

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency said carriers should avoid a designated section of Saudi airspace at all altitudes and use heightened caution elsewhere in the Jeddah flight information region.
EASA cited intensified Houthi strikes, increased air-defence activity and the danger from missile interceptions, drone overflights and falling debris. It said recent attacks have reached deeper into the kingdom, including areas around Riyadh, Tabuk and Yanbu.
The advisory remains in force until Nov. 16 unless reviewed earlier.
