Residents in Taif, Yanbu and Khamis Mushait received an all-clear Wednesday from Saudi Civil Defense after earlier alerts went out through the National Early Warning Platform for Emergencies.
In posts on X, the agency told residents to continue following safety instructions and avoid gatherings and filming. The alerts did not explain what prompted them or specify the nature of the threat.
Anadolu Agency said residents received the notice through the National Early Warning Platform; officials had not yet described the specific danger.
The warning did not identify the danger. The coalition said earlier Friday that it destroyed a Houthi cruise missile aimed at Saudi Arabia’s western region.
Civil Defense separately said debris from two intercepted ballistic missiles fell in Riyadh, causing minor injuries to a Saudi citizen and damaging a home and a vehicle.
