Saudi authorities briefly advised residents of Riyadh to seek shelter on Monday following an aerial threat alert, just one day after Houthi forces claimed an attack on the capital’s business district.
RIYADH: Saudi authorities briefly warned residents of the capital Riyadh of an aerial threat on Monday, a day after an attack on its business district.
“Warning. The area is under a hostile aerial threat. Please remain calm, stay indoors or in a safe place away from windows and doors, and follow the instructions of Civil Defense,” the message said, before lifting the warning minutes later.
Saudi Arabia has faced near-daily strikes since October, when the Houthis intensified their campaign against the kingdom after ousting Riyadh-backed government forces from their positions on the Red Sea coast.
