Saudi civil defence issues ‘potential danger’ warnings for Mecca, Jeddah

On Friday, Saudi Arabia's civil defence agency broadcast warnings of potential danger affecting four of its western provinces, including Mecca, which is home to Islam's holiest city, and Jeddah. The alerts were issued without providing a specific reason for the warnings.

The announcement follows a previous attack earlier this month targeting Riyadh airport, an incident that resulted in 13 deaths and dozens of injuries.
