Context
The Saudi-led coalition and Iran-backed Houthis traded strikes Sunday as fighting raged in the intensifying conflict that has disturbed life for residents of the kingdom's capital Riyadh and war-wracked Yemen. Disruption in the world's top crude oil exporter has continued to spread as the Houthis keep up their strikes, with Riyadh's landmark Kingdom Centre skyscraper ordering "mandatory" remote working until further notice for office tenants on Sunday.
