The Saudi civil defense has lifted an alert warning in Abha and Khamis Mushait, two cities located in southwest Saudi Arabia near the border with Yemen. This marks the second time in the past hour that the General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense has issued and subsequently removed the alert, warning the public of potential danger in the region.
The warning was issued due to recent strikes by Yemen's Houthi rebels, who claimed to have launched over 50 attacks against Saudi positions in a 24-hour period. Following the Houthi claim of a drone and missile attack on a military base within Saudi Arabia, the civil defense urged the public to continue following their instructions and avoid gathering or filming. In case of emergencies, residents were advised to call (998).
