The Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen said Monday it had intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by the Houthi militia toward Saudi Arabia’s southern region.
Saudi Arabia’s Civil Defense had issued early warnings through the national emergency alert platform, cautioning of a potential threat in Najran, Taif, Abha and Khamis Mushait.
In alerts posted on its official account on X, the Civil Defense urged people to remain calm and immediately seek shelter, avoid exposed areas and hazardous sites, refrain from gathering or taking photographs, and pull over safely when receiving alerts while driving.
It advised them to stay in shelters until the danger had passed and not to leave their homes or buildings while the warning remained in effect.
The Civil Defense said residents can call 911 in Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh and the Eastern Province, and 998 in the rest of the kingdom. It urged the public to follow instructions issued through official channels.
It later declared the threat over in Najran, Taif, Abha and Khamis Mushait, urging residents to continue following safety instructions.
