Abha:Saudi Arabia The Civil Defense in Saudi Arabia announced that a threat to the southwestern city of Abha and Khamis Mushait governorate has ended after alarms were triggered for the second time in a single day.

According to Anadolu Agency – English, the Civil Defense used social media platform X to inform the public that the threat had passed and advised residents to continue adhering to safety instructions, avoiding gatherings and refraining from filming.

The alarms in Abha and Khamis Mushait were activated through the National Early Warning Platform, initially alerting of a threat in these areas. Authorities later confirmed that the threat had subsided.

The specific nature of the threat that led to the activation of the alarms remains undisclosed by Saudi officials. These alerts occur amid ongoing military tensions between Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Houthi group, which have persisted since July, involving attacks on civil aviation and energy infrastructure.

Saudi Arabia has been leading a military coalition since March 2015 to support Yemen's internationally recognized government against the Houthis, who seized control of the capital Sanaa and other provinces in September 2014.
