Yemen overfly ?

The Saudi Air Force has launched last night bombing raids on the Yemen capital Sanaa (probably using Tornadoes or F15s) and they did target, amongst others, the neighboring Air Force base. Antiaircraft missiles and artillery have been used against the attacking aircraft.
More attacks are planed in the coming days ...

Great - how long before an aircraft from an unsuspicious airline gets shot down anove this place by a missile, of which he was not the target (as in Ukraine last year, for those with a short memory)
For how long are we still going to overfly this country ?

Or maybe they will publish a Notam, preventing flights below FL XXX, because an aircraft has just been shot down at FL XXX-2000 ft ?
