Saudi Arabia’s Civil Defense briefly activated a warning alert in the capital, Riyadh, over a potential danger on Monday, before announcing that the threat had passed, according to Anadolu Agency.
The alert was issued through the National Early Warning Platform, which warned residents of potential danger. In a subsequent notification, the agency said the threat had passed in the city.
Authorities did not immediately specify the nature of the threat that prompted the warning.
The alert came amid continued military escalation between the Saudi-led coalition supporting Yemen’s internationally recognized government and the Houthi group, which has launched repeated missile and drone attacks towards Saudi territory.
