US pulls embassy staff from Saudi Arabia as Houthi attacks escalate, Dammam airport hit

The United States has ordered non-emergency staff at its embassy in Riyadh and their family members to leave the country after Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen intensified attacks on Saudi Arabia. The US is withdrawing some staff from its diplomatic mission in Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, came under attack on Wednesday night. The attack killed one person and injured eight others.

The ongoing attacks targeting Saudi Arabia's airports and oil infrastructure have further heightened tensions in the region's security situation.
