For almost three days, there was little sign of a new war raging in the Gulf if you were based in Saudi Arabia. Most schools were business as usual on Monday morning, Saudis and foreigners reported heading to the office and carrying on with meetings, and flights continued to operate.
That now has the potential to shift after an area housing the country’s largest oil refinery suffered a drone strike and the kingdom reported intercepting multiple drones heading for Riyadh.
