Some US diplomats told to leave Saudi Arabia amid Houthi attacks
U.S. officials have instructed embassy staff in Saudi Arabia to depart as Houthi missile and drone attacks intensify in the region. Similar evacuations are reported in the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Qatar and Bahrain. The moves reflect heightened worries about a possible escalation with Iran following the recent U.S. midterm elections. Authorities cite security risks for personnel and anticipate further regional instability.
