US Orders Non-Emergency Staff to Leave Saudi Arabia Over Security Concerns
The United States has ordered non-emergency government employees and their families to leave Saudi Arabia starting October 23 due to safety concerns from recent Houthi missile and drone attacks on civilian airports and critical infrastructure. The US embassy in Riyadh requires special authorization for government employees to use Saudi airports and warns of potential further attacks, airspace closures, flight cancellations, and travel disruptions. The escalation follows intensified fighting between Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition.
