Saudi civil defence gives all-clear after alerts in Eastern Province
Civil defence lifted warning alerts after Saudi air defences intercepted a ballistic missile aimed at the oil-rich region, officials said.
- On Sunday, Saudi Civil Defence lifted alerts across the Eastern Province, including Dhahran, after the Saudi-led coalition intercepted a ballistic missile launched by Houthi forces toward the oil-rich region.
- Renewed hostilities between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis have shattered a 2022 UN-brokered truce, prompting frequent missile and drone attacks against Saudi airports and oil facilities by the Iran-aligned group.
- On Saturday, Yemeni government forces reported carrying out 875 operations against Houthi positions, claiming to have killed or incapacitated 130 fighters and destroyed 50 pieces of military equipment.
- The Houthi-run health ministry alleged Saudi airstrikes killed 33 people in Bani Hushaysh on Saturday, with Abdul-Aziz al-Dailami, director of Sehatuna Hospital, reporting many victims trapped under rubble.
- Authorities are investigating the airstrike reports, though Reuters noted it could not independently verify the account provided by the Houthi-run Saba news agency regarding the village attack.
