Sirens, explosions sound in Saudi Arabia’s Najran along border with Yemen
Air raid sirens and multiple explosions have sounded in Saudi Arabia’s southwestern province of Najran along the border with Yemen following the purported launch of ballistic missiles by the Yemeni armed forces in retaliation for Riyadh’s ongoing aggression and siege on their homeland.
The General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense issued emergency warning alerts via the National Early Warning Platform to residents across the region on Tuesday, warning of an immediate potential hazard.
Saudi Civil Defense authorities reportedly instructed residents to remain calm, stay indoors, and avoid filming the site of attacks.
Local sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, reported that a series of blasts ripped through the Najran region. The exact cause of the explosions remains unclear.
Reports said that flights at Abha International Airport in southwestern Saudi Arabia have been suspended following the attacks.
On Saturday, Saudi Arabia’s Civil Defense issued alerts for potential danger in the capital Riyadh, as well as al-Kharj and Farasan provinces in the country’s south.
The Yemeni armed forces recently announced their control over Perim Island, also known as Mayyun Island in Arabic, strengthening their strategic position around the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a vital maritime route linking the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden.
In March 2015, Saudi Arabia and its allies imposed a blockade on Yemen and launched a sweeping military campaign, backed by military, political, and logistical support from the United States and several Western countries.
The war has killed tens of thousands of Yemenis. However, Saudi Arabia has failed to achieve its stated objective of reinstating a puppet regime that serves its interests.
