Saudi Arabia lifts warnings of potential danger in four cities

The Saudi Civil Defense has sent an all-clear on Monday after issuing alerts for potential danger in four southern cities.

The local authorities had issued alerts for the cities of Najran, Khamis Mushait, Jazan and Abha. It later issued warnings for Khamis Mushait and Abha a second time before lifting them again.

Saudi Arabia had shut its East-West oil pipeline on Friday after it was hit in a drone attack, disrupting a key route used to bypass shipping problems in the Strait of Hormuz. The drone came from Iraqi territory, although it remains unclear who was responsible.
