Middle East1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported43m ago
Saudi authorities have withdrawn a second round of alerts for Riyadh and al-Kharj after the Directorate of Civil Defence declared that the danger had passed. The National Early Warning Platform had previously urged residents in both areas to take precautionary measures.
The actions followed reports of explosions heard in Riyadh on Saturday by an AFP journalist, coinciding with the issuance and subsequent withdrawal of air raid alerts by Saudi Arabian authorities. The region has faced regular targeting in recent days by attacks from pro-Iranian Houthi forces in Yemen.
