Saudi Civil Defence Activates Warning Systems in Four Southern Regions

Saudi Arabia's civil defence announced that early warning systems were activated in four areas of the country's south: Khamis Mushait, Najran, Jazan and Abha. The activation was reported in the early hours, according to the statement.

Local media reported that the warning systems were triggered simultaneously and repeatedly. Danger alerts were sounded a second time in the Abha and Khamis Mushait areas, the reports said.

No further details on damage or casualties were immediately available. The civil defence did not provide additional information on the cause of the activations or on any incidents that may have prompted them.

The affected areas are located in southern Saudi Arabia, near the border with Yemen. The report did not specify whether the alerts were linked to any cross-border activity or other events.

According to Mehr News, the warning systems were activated across the four locations, with repeated alerts in Abha and Khamis Mushait, and no immediate information on damage or casualties was released.
