The United States issued another travel advisory this evening (Tuesday), urging American citizens to reconsider travel to Saudi Arabia due to "the risk of harm to American interests from drones and missiles launched by Iran and the Houthis."

Houthi media outlets reported that late this afternoon, the Saudi Air Force carried out a strike on the a-Sabaha station, part of the Houthis' oil company operations in western Sanaa. At the same time, reports emerged that Saudi forces had intercepted three drones north of Riyadh.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree issued a direct warning to Saudi Arabia: "We warn all workers and civilians located near the Aramco oil facilities to evacuate the area and stay away from it, as these sites constitute targets."

The Houthis also threatened to strike Aramco's headquarters in Dammam, King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, and the Aramco refinery in Riyadh.
