Saudi Arabia Declares Riyadh Safe After Warning of Potential Incident
Saudi authorities announced on Monday that the danger to the capital, Riyadh, has passed, minutes after an alarm was sounded warning of a potential threat.
The Saudi Civil Defense stated that the danger in Riyadh was over, without providing further details about the nature of the threat.
This comes a day after an attack for which the Houthi group claimed responsibility, targeting an administrative building belonging to Aramco in the financial district of the Saudi capital, which resulted in windows on several floors being shattered by shrapnel from the attack.
The Saudi Ministry of Energy had announced that the damage was limited and no injuries were recorded, while the Kingdom-led coalition reported intercepting missiles fired by the Houthis toward the capital.
The Houthi group has intensified its missile and drone attacks on targets inside Saudi Arabia, including airports, ports, and oil facilities, coinciding with renewed military confrontations between the two sides since last July.
