Houthi Attacks: The United States Restricts Movements of Its Agents in Saudi Arabia

U.S. government employees in Saudi Arabia must now obtain prior authorization to travel to Taif and Yanbu following an attempted airstrike on Riyadh. This restriction marks the fourth advisory in less than three weeks, as U.S. authorities raised their travel advisory to level 3, urging reconsideration of travel to the country. Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for strikes on oil facilities in Yanbu, while attempts to attack were thwarted by the Riyadh-led coalition.
