Urgent message from the United States. "Departure order" for diplomats

The U.S. State Department has ordered non-essential government personnel and their families to leave Saudi Arabia due to escalating tensions and fears of attacks. This decision follows increased military actions by Houthi forces against Saudi targets, including civilian infrastructure. A spokesperson highlighted the risks posed by these attacks, which have resulted in civilian casualties. Additionally, a recent drone attack on an oil field in eastern Saudi Arabia led to fatalities and injuries, although oil production was not affected. Similar advisories have been issued by other diplomatic missions in the region.
