Summary
A Houthi missile strike on an airport in Dammam, near Saudi Aramco's headquarters, killed two people on Wednesday, as the U.S. continued evacuating non-essential embassy staff and families from Saudi Arabia. The Iran-backed Houthi militia has been attacking Saudi aviation and energy sites for weeks. The U.S. military has also been reducing its Middle East footprint due to Houthi and Iranian threats. Egypt has called for talks on Yemen, and its parliament is weighing military support to Saudi Arabia.
