The US mission has issued a warning to American citizens in Saudi Arabia amidst rising tensions with the Houthis in Yemen.
The warning was issued on Tuesday, citing the risk of potential drone and missile attacks in various parts of the country.
The US mission stated that the warning was issued in light of the current security situation in Saudi Arabia. Citizens have been advised to remain vigilant at all times and to adhere to national alerts and instructions issued by the Saudi Civil Defense authorities.
US citizens have also been urged to take instructions from local authorities seriously.
Concerns regarding drone and missile attacks in Saudi Arabia have resurfaced amidst regional tensions with the Houthis. Previously, various facilities and targets in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region have been subjected to such attacks.
However, the US mission’s warning did not specify any particular location or time for a potential attack; the message was primarily intended to alert citizens to potential security risks.
