The disruptions have also affected Indian Umrah pilgrims. Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the Indian Embassy in Riyadh and the Consulate General in Jeddah were coordinating with airlines and tour operators to facilitate the early return of affected pilgrims.

The Indian missions are providing welfare assistance, operating round-the-clock control rooms and issuing regular advisories to help Indian nationals amid the deteriorating security situation. Citizens requiring urgent departure have been advised to consider alternative transit routes through Bahrain, Kuwait or Qatar, subject to the necessary visa requirements.

The embassy has urged Indians in Saudi Arabia to remain vigilant, follow the instructions of local authorities and move to a safe location inside a building in the event of an aerial attack. It has also cautioned against filming or circulating images and videos of interceptions or impact sites, warning of possible legal consequences under Saudi law.

Saudi Arabia is home to approximately 2.74 million Indian nationals, making the evolving situation a significant concern for the Indian community.
