Saudi Arabia Issues Emergency Alerts After Houthi Missile and Drone Attacks Injure Civilians
Saudi Arabia issued emergency alerts for several cities including AlUla, Abha, Jazan, Jeddah, Yanbu, and Taif following missile and drone attacks by Yemen's Houthi militants on military bases in Khamis Mushait. The attacks on September 14 wounded 13 civilians and damaged homes and vehicles. The Houthis said the strikes targeted military infrastructure in retaliation for Saudi airstrikes in Yemen. Alerts were later lifted, and residents were advised to follow safety instructions amid escalating conflict and regional tensions.
