The Houthis said Thursday they carried out missile and drone attacks on four locations in Saudi Arabia, including the kingdom's defense ministry and an airport, according to 연합뉴스TV. The broadcaster reported the claim on Oct. 22, citing the group's announcement.
Coverage of the statement named King Fahd airport among the targets, YTN reported. The reports did not specify damage or casualties from the claimed strikes.
The announcement was followed by reports that Washington ordered the departure of US government employees and their family members from Saudi Arabia, 조선일보 reported. KBS 뉴스 said the United States is reducing its military presence in the Middle East and adjusting staffing at its embassy, without giving further detail in the summary.
The Houthis' claim and the US personnel order have not been independently confirmed in the reporting summarized here, and Saudi authorities had not commented in the material available. The accounts leave open whether the four sites were hit and how seriously.
What to watch next: whether Saudi officials confirm or dispute the Houthi claim, and whether Washington provides further detail on the scale of its drawdown and embassy staffing changes.
