Yesterday morning, Major General Al-Maliki announced the interception and destruction of a cruise missile launched by the Houthi militia towards the Riyadh region.

The Saudi Civil Defense announced, at dawn today (Sunday), that the danger had passed from Dammam, Dhahran, Abqaiq and Al-Hofuf, after raising the alert through the national platform for early warning in emergency situations.

The Civil Defense had previously announced the launch of an early warning in Dammam, Dhahran, Abqaiq and Al-Hofuf, to warn of danger, calling on residents to remain calm and follow official instructions.

According to the instructions he published, he called on residents to immediately go to the nearest safe place, whether inside a building or in an interior room away from windows, and to remain there until the danger passes, and not to leave homes or buildings during the warning period.

He stressed the need to stay away from open spaces, windows and glass, and not to stand on balconies or on the roofs of buildings, explaining that if a person is outside the home, he must enter the nearest building or take shelter behind a solid curtain.

He also warned against gathering, photographing, and approaching dangerous sites, calling on vehicle drivers, when receiving a warning message while driving, to stop on the side of the road, away from bridges, tunnels, and high-rise buildings.

The Civil Defense stressed the importance of obtaining information from its official sources, warning against the circulation of rumors and clips of unknown origin, and stressing the necessity of following instructions issued by the competent authorities through official channels.

The Legitimacy Support Coalition intercepted a cruise missile launched by the Houthis towards Riyadh, in conjunction with the interception of ballistic missiles and drones targeting Saudi regions, amid the continuing military escalation in Yemen.

The Taiz, Ma'rib, and Al-Jawf fronts witnessed continuous confrontations, during which government forces were able to thwart Houthi attacks, in conjunction with air strikes targeting the group's sites and concentrations. The Yemeni army announced the implementation of 1,211 targeting operations as part of Operation “Yemen Dawn,” which it said resulted in the neutralization of about 387 Houthi leaders and members and the destruction and damage of 96 military vehicles and means. The city of Taiz is witnessing a rapid deterioration in the humanitarian crisis, with warnings that hospitals will close within 48 hours due to running out of fuel and a lack of medical supplies, as a result of the Houthi siege imposed on it.
