The incident occurred after the government and Saudi Civil Defense issued emergency phone warnings to citizens and residents across multiple regions of the country, advising them to stay indoors and away from windows.
In addition to the capital, authorities extended their warnings to other strategic locations, including Jeddah and Yanbu.
