Saudi Arabia announced early Saturday that a “potential danger” alert issued for Sharurah, Taif and Khamis Mushait in the south and southwest of the kingdom has ended, Anadolu reports.
Saudi Arabia’s Civil Defence said on US social media company X that residents should continue to follow instructions for their safety, urging them to strictly avoid gathering in crowds or filming incident sites, even though the alert has ended.
The alerts had urged residents of the three areas to follow official instructions, move to a safe location, stay away from windows, and remain indoors until the danger passed.
The warnings came after Saudi Arabia announced Friday that several attacks on its East-West oil pipeline in the Riyadh and Medina regions had caused injuries and prompted a precautionary shutdown.
