Saudi Arabian authorities sent urgent alerts to residents on Monday, urging them to stay indoors and follow civil defense instructions. The measure was linked to a possible air threat amid escalating conflict involving the Houthis in Yemen.
Notifications sent to mobile phones in areas that could be affected advised residents to take shelter away from windows and doors and await further instructions from emergency services.
The alerts came amid reports in recent days of Houthi missile and drone attacks on infrastructure, airports and other strategic sites in Saudi Arabia. The attacks have reportedly disrupted air traffic, while security measures have been stepped up in some parts of the country.
Residents were advised to remain calm, stay at home or move to a safe location, and follow instructions from civil defense authorities.
Saudi officials have not disclosed the specific threat that prompted the latest alert. Authorities urged residents to rely on official information channels and avoid sharing unverified information about ongoing operations.
The intensification of fighting in Yemen and continued cross-border attacks have raised security concerns across the Gulf region. Officials are prioritizing measures to protect the public amid the risk of further attacks.
