Saudi Arabia's Civil Defence lifted the danger warning for Riyadh and Al-Kharj early Saturday following two rounds of emergency alerts issued overnight. The General Directorate of Civil Defence declared an all-clear for the capital and Al-Kharj governorate and advised citizens to continue following official safety instructions. The second alert followed an earlier one that was withdrawn overnight, but the nature of the potential threat remained unspecified.
During the warning period, residents were instructed to remain calm, move to a safe place, and avoid open areas and glass windows. Civil Defence emphasized obtaining information from official channels and cautioned against circulating rumors or video clips from unknown sources. The alerts were part of a series issued across several Saudi Arabian regions, including Jeddah, Taif, Khamis Mushait, AlUla, and the Farasan Islands, amid heightened security concerns following drone and missile incidents.
The Civil Defence all-clear in Riyadh and Al-Kharj ended the second warning cycle during the night, with no casualties or damage reported in the affected areas.
