U.S. embassy in Riyadh advises non-essential staff to leave
The escalation of the Houthis' attacks, supported by Iran, on Saudi Arabia has prompted the U.S. Department of State to order non-essential personnel and their family members to evacuate its embassy in Riyadh due to assaults on airports, critical facilities, and civil aviation, which have caused injuries and travel disruptions. The United States also advised its citizens of potential attacks targeting airports amid intensified military operations conducted by Saudi-backed forces against Houthis' positions, including interceptions of missile and drone strikes on Saudi oil facilities. Despite U.S. support, the Trump administration has yet to undertake offensive action against the Houthis, while Saudi allies such as the United Kingdom and Egypt are increasing their military assistance and aerial reinforcement to defend the Kingdom.
