Saudi Arabia Issues Emergency Alerts over ‘Potential Danger’ in Jeddah, Makkah, Taif
Officials said the danger had passed in five cities after emergency alerts urged residents to seek shelter and follow safety instructions.
- On Tuesday, Saudi Civil Defence issued an all-clear following emergency alerts for potential danger in six cities including Yanbu, Jeddah, Abha, Jazan, AlUla, and Taif, amid an uptick in attacks by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis.
- An aerial attack on Thursday knocked the 1,200-kilometre Saudi Arabia East-West pipeline offline, with satellite imagery revealing damage to the infrastructure located across the Arabian Peninsula.
- Traders warn a prolonged shutdown could cut off 4% of global oil supply, while Houthi forces continue advancing along Yemen's Red Sea coast toward the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a key shipping route.
- Saudi Arabia warned of a 'firm' response after Houthi missile and drone attacks injured 13 civilians, while air forces increased aerial bombardment of Houthi targets near the port of Mocha.
- Authorities have not specified when pipeline operations might resume as Houthis maintain control over much of the western coast, leaving the kingdom under pressure from ongoing attacks on energy infrastructure.
