🔶 Short-term alert about an “air threat” in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabian authorities on Monday, 18 Aban (November 9), a day after an attack on the commercial district of Riyadh, briefly warned residents of the capital about an “air threat.” In the alert, citizens were asked to remain calm, stay at home or in a safe place away from windows and doors, and follow civil defense instructions. The alert was canceled a few minutes later.

Saudi Arabia is targeted by Houthi attacks—an organization supported by the Islamic Republic—nearly every day.
