Riyadh:Saudi Arabia's Civil Defense briefly activated a warning alert in the capital, Riyadh, on Monday due to a potential danger. The alert was issued to residents through the National Early Warning Platform.

According to Anadolu Agency, authorities later announced that the threat had passed, though they did not specify the nature of the threat that prompted the warning.
