Air routes changed because of war threat in Yemen ?

The very unstable condition of Yemen with Saudi forces intervening there which is condemned by Iran makes the situation in that region very unstable.
Normally, many EK,EY,QR flights fly over Yemen but is that changed now (or will be in the near future) ?

I and my family flew from Salalah to Doha on Friday last and we seemed to divert to stay in Omani and UAE airspace rather than cross Saudi airspace, according to the flight-map.

Yemen airspace is closed to civilian traffic. Flights from Africa that usually transition through there are flying up to Port Sudan, across to Jeddah and then across the southern route to the UAE.
