🔻 sounds the warning siren in Riyadh for the first time after the escalation of the conflict with the Houthis

The Civil Defense Organization of Saudi Arabia announced the activation of early warning and danger sirens in Riyadh. This was the first warning to the capital of Saudi Arabia since the escalation of the conflict between this country and the Houthis in Yemen.

This warning was issued hours after the military spokesman of the Houthis announced that they had neutralized the "criminal activities" in Sana'a; While blaming Saudi Arabia, he promised to respond to these actions.

Saudi Arabia's Civil Defense Organization then announced that the situation was normal on Saturday morning.

The Houthis, who control the most populated areas of Yemen and much of the north of the country, have launched attacks against Saudi Arabia and attacked Saudi Arabian ships in the Red Sea since Riyadh declared a naval blockade in July.

The Houthis have taken control of the entire coastal strip of Yemen in the Red Sea since last week. According to them, the Saudi Air Force has carried out hundreds of airstrikes against areas under their control in recent days.
