Early warning system was activated in Abha and Khamis Mushait cities of Saudi Arabia

A written statement was made on the subject from the Civil Defense Directorate's account on the social media platform of US-based company X.

In the statement, it was emphasized that the early warning system was activated in the cities of Abha and Khamis Mushayt and that a warning was made against the danger.

In the statement, people who received the warning message were asked to remain calm and comply with the instructions of the official authorities.

In the statement, it was stated that one should move to the nearest safe place, especially a room away from windows in the building, and should not leave the house or building until the danger is eliminated, and those who were outside were asked to enter the nearest building. In the statement, it was noted that it was necessary to take cover behind a solid barrier.

In the second statement made by the Civil Defense Directorate shortly after the early warning system was activated, it was stated that "the danger has passed" in both cities, but no information was given about the nature of the danger.

In retaliation for the military operations of the Saudi Arabia-led Arab Coalition against the Houthis in Yemen, the Houthis frequently target Saudi Arabia's border regions and southern provinces.

Military areas and critical infrastructure facilities in the region are occasionally attacked by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and ballistic missiles launched from the Yemen border.

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