CNN and the New York Times report that the US ordered non-emergency personnel and family members to leave Saudi Arabia this week. CNN attributes the move to officials who linked it to Houthi escalations. Tasnim News (Telegram) says US officials acknowledged an earlier evacuation of US embassy staff families was linked to attacks in Yemen. A NewsCord headline relays the order and ties it to Houthi strikes on airports and energy sites.

Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
