The US Embassy in Saudi Arabia said the departure order was issued in response to potential security threats, including the risk of attacks by Yemen’s Houthi militia on airports, civilian areas and other critical infrastructure.
The move comes amid growing concerns over possible Houthi attacks on targets across the kingdom.
The embassy advised non-emergency staff and their families to leave the country, although the report did not provide further details about the duration of the measure or any changes to essential diplomatic operations.
