Riyadh schools moved to online classes Tuesday, Nov. 10, according to a message to parents seen by AFP.
The parent message announced the switch but left its duration unspecified.
AFP's report placed the school change amid stepped-up Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia but did not say the attacks prompted the decision.
EconoTimes previously reported that some government staff in Riyadh received remote-work instructions. Those accounts did not establish a citywide workplace directive or explain the reason for the staff instructions.
