Border Guard rescues five Saudis after boat breaks down off Yanbu
Five citizens were rescued by Border Guard teams after their boat broke down while at sea off the coast of Yanbu on Saturday.
In Jazan and Asir regions, Border Guard land patrols made arrests and recovered significant quantities of drugs, including khat, hashish, and pills. Four Yemeni nationals were apprehended in separate incidents for attempting to smuggle a total of 102 kilograms of khat. In Asir, a patrol in the Al-Rabuah Sector captured one Yemeni national who was allegedly trying to smuggle 20 kilograms of the substance.
Meanwhile, in Jazan, a separate patrol in the Al-Harth Sector detained three Yemenis for the same offense, seizing 82 kilograms of khat. A third operation in the Al-Dair Sector of Jazan resulted in the seizure of 63,500 pills and 14 kilograms of hashish. Legal proceedings were initiated in all cases, with the suspects and seized items subsequently handed over to the relevant authorities.
The authorities encouraged the public to report any drug smuggling activities through multiple channels, assuring that all information will be kept confidential and that informants will not face repercussions.
