Explosions in Riyadh

Explosions were heard after the early warning system was activated in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, which is the target of the Houthis.

In the statement made by the Civil Defense Directorate on the social media platform of the US-based company X, it was stated that the early warning system for Riyadh was activated.

According to eyewitnesses, explosions were heard in Riyadh after the attack warning.

Authorities asked those who received the warning message to remain calm and comply with the instructions of the official authorities.

It was recommended to move to the nearest safe area, stay away from windows inside the building and not leave houses or buildings until the danger is eliminated. Those outside were asked to enter the nearest building and take shelter behind a solid barrier.

"THE DANGER IN RIYADH HAS PASSED"

In its second statement shortly after the early warning system was activated, the Civil Defense Directorate announced that the "danger in Riyadh" had passed.

In the statement, no information was given regarding the nature of the "danger".

The Iranian-backed Houthis have been in control of parts of Yemen, including the capital Sanaa, since 2014. The Arab Coalition led by Saudi Arabia has been supporting the Yemeni government since 2015.
