Saudi Arabia issues emergency alert for several cities for 'potential danger' amid Houthi conflict
The alert calls on citizens to remain calm and follow official instructions and proceed to the nearest safe place.
Saudi Arabia has recently issued an emergency alert for several cities due to potential danger amid the ongoing conflict with the Yemeni militant group, the Houthis. The alert, which has now been lifted, called on citizens to remain calm, follow official instructions, and proceed to the nearest safe place. The conflict escalated after the Houthis targeted Saudi military bases in Khamis Mushait, resulting in at least 13 injuries.
The attack was in retaliation for airstrikes in Yemen. The Houthi advances, including the takeover of Perim Island and the chokehold of the Bab al-Mandab strait, have put pressure on Saudi oil exports.
