Series of explosions reported in Saudi capital Riyadh

A series of explosions occurred in the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh, according to a report by the news agency AFP. The agency said at least three explosions were heard in the city.

In response, Saudi Arabia's General Directorate of Civil Defense activated the National Early Warning Platform for Emergencies, alerting residents of Riyadh to a potential threat. The agency later announced that the alert had been lifted.

The report did not specify the locations of the explosions, the cause, or whether there were any casualties or damage. No group or party had claimed responsibility in the accounts available at the time of reporting.

The publisher's topic keywords for the report included Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Ansarullah and Riyadh. The report itself, however, did not state a link between the explosions and any of these subjects, and no such connection was confirmed in the information provided.

According to Mehr News, citing AFP, the explosions were heard in the Saudi capital and the civil defence alert was subsequently withdrawn.
