Saudi authorities warn of brief ‘aerial threat’ in Riyadh

Saudi authorities send a text message to residents of the capital Riyadh briefly warning of an aerial threat, before lifting the alert minutes later.

“Warning. The area is under a hostile aerial threat. Please remain calm, stay indoors or in a safe place away from windows and doors, and follow the instructions of Civil Defense,” the message says, as Yemen’s Houthis intensify strikes on the kingdom.
