美国国务院下令驻沙特非紧急人员及家属撤离:胡塞武装持续袭击沙特民用机场等关键基础设施

华盛顿——美国国务院 10 月 21 日下令,驻沙特阿拉伯的非紧急美国政府雇员及其家属撤离沙特。国务院发言人 Tommy Pigott 当天在社交平台 X 上宣布了这一决定。
Pigott 表示,受伊朗支持的胡塞武装日益对沙特采取敌对行动,包括袭击民用机场和其他关键基础设施,造成平民伤亡和严重旅行中断。他宣布的撤离令仅针对沙特境内的美国使团人员与家属。
据路透社报道,撤离令发布当天,沙特境内袭击造成多人死伤:达曼一座民用机场遇袭,至少 1 人死亡、8 人受伤;一处油田遭无人机袭击,2 人死亡。
美国驻沙特使团同日发布安全警示称,受近期针对沙特机场的导弹与无人机袭击影响,在沙特工作的美国政府雇员使用沙特境内任何机场,须事先获得使团团长的特别批准。警示说,利雅得哈立德国王国际机场的运营仍然暂停;吉达阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王国际机场与达曼法赫德国王国际机场仍在运营,但出现延误与航班取消。警示同时提醒在沙特的美国公民注意机场可能遇袭、领空关闭与出行中断,并留意沙特民防部门通过手机广播发布的警报。
据路透社报道,四名美国官员表示,海湾地区其他国家的美国使团也将下令家属撤离。Pigott 在帖文中未提及沙特以外使团的人员安排。
国务院目前对沙特阿拉伯的旅行建议为第三级「重新考虑旅行」,靠近也门边境的地区为第四级「不要旅行」。

U.S. State Department Orders Non-Emergency Staff and Families to Depart Saudi Arabia Amid Continued Houthi Attacks on Airports and Critical Infrastructure
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of State on October 21 ordered non-emergency U.S. government employees and their family members to depart Saudi Arabia. State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott announced the decision in a post on X.
Pigott said Iranian-supported Houthis have increasingly engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including attacks on civilian airports and other critical infrastructure, resulting in civilian casualties and severe travel disruptions. The ordered departure he announced applies to U.S. mission personnel and their families in Saudi Arabia.
According to Reuters, attacks in Saudi Arabia on the same day killed and wounded multiple people: at least one person was killed and eight injured in an attack on a civilian airport in Dammam, and two people were killed in a drone attack on an oil field.
The U.S. Mission to Saudi Arabia issued a security alert the same day stating that, following recent missile and UAV attacks on airports in the kingdom, U.S. government employees working in Saudi Arabia require special authorization from the Chief of Mission to use any airport in Saudi Arabia. The alert said operations at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh remain suspended, while King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah and King Fahd International Airport in Dammam are operational with delays and cancellations. It also reminded U.S. citizens in Saudi Arabia to be aware of potential attacks on airports, airspace closures and travel disruptions, and to follow national alerts issued by Saudi Arabia's Civil Defense via cellular broadcast.
Reuters reported that four U.S. officials said U.S. missions in other Gulf states would also order family members to leave. Pigott did not address staffing changes at missions outside Saudi Arabia in his post.
The State Department's travel advisory for Saudi Arabia currently stands at Level 3, "Reconsider Travel," with areas near the Yemen border at Level 4, "Do Not Travel."
