US Orders Some Diplomats Out of Saudi Arabia Amid Houthi Attacks

The US State Department has ordered the departure of non-emergency personnel and their families from Saudi Arabia. This decision follows growing threats from Houthi militants based in neighboring Yemen. The order specifically affects non-essential staff stationed at the US Embassy in Riyadh as well as its various satellite consulates. These measures were implemented on Wednesday as fears rise regarding the potential for escalating Houthi attacks within the region, prompting the immediate relocation of these diplomatic staff members.
