The US has ordered non-emergency diplomats and their families to leave Saudi Arabia as attacks by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis intensify. Saudi officials said three people died in the latest strikes, two from falling drone debris near an oil field and one at Dammam's King Fahd International Airport, where eight were hurt. The State Department warned that the hostilities could escalate rapidly across the wider kingdom.
