Saudi Aramco evacuated its Dhahran headquarters and the US ordered non-emergency diplomats to leave Saudi Arabia as Houthi attacks escalated, causing oil prices to surge on supply concerns. The Houthis targeted Aramco facilities in Yanbu and Riyadh, while an attack on Dammam's airport killed two people. Saudi air defences intercepted drones over Riyadh and Medina, ending a 2022 UN-brokered truce. US missions across the Gulf may also withdraw family members, and Saudi Arabia's stock index fell 2.5%. The conflict threatens energy supplies from the world's key exporting region.
