RIYADH: Saudi Arabia issued a warning for Al-Kharj governorate early Monday, as state media reported sirens.
The Saudi Civil Defense, at 05:28AM, said: “A warning has been issued by the National Early Warning Platform in Al-Kharj Governorate to warn of a danger,” and urged the general public to follow official instructions, including taking shelter in a safe place.
The warning was lifted minutes later.
The notice came after a dramatic escalation on Sunday between Iran and Israel, with both launching missiles at each other and risking a fragile ceasefire which has allowed negotiations to take place to find a lasting solution.
Iran launched missiles at Israel after Tehran had threatened to do so when the Israeli military struck the southern suburbs of Beirut.
