Saudi Arabia lifts oil region alerts after Houthi missile intercepted
Saudi Arabia lifted emergency alerts in the oil-producing Eastern Province on Sunday, after a Saudi-led military coalition claimed to have intercepted a Houthi missile fired toward the region. Residents of Dhahran, Dammam, Abqaiq, and Al-Ahsa were initially warned of potential danger, but authorities later declared an all-clear.
The alerts came after the coalition intercepted a ballistic missile launched by Iran-aligned Houthi rebels toward Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province. The Houthis have frequently targeted Saudi airports, ports, and oil facilities, causing security concerns in a region crucial to global crude supplies. While no damage was reported from the latest missile, the threat highlights the ongoing security challenges facing Saudi Arabia's energy infrastructure.
