Saudi Civil Defense lifts warnings of potential danger in four cities
CAIRO, Sept 14 (Reuters) - The Saudi Civil Defense sent an all clear on Monday after issuing alerts for potential danger in four southern cities amid an uptick in attacks by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis.
Saudi Civil Defense had issued the alerts for the cities of Najran, Khamis Mushait, Jazan and Abha. It also later issued warnings for Khamis Mushait and Abha a second time before lifting them again.
The Houthis, who control the most populous parts of Yemen and much of the north, have been launching attacks towards Saudi Arabia since declaring a naval blockade against Riyadh in July , with strikes targeting Saudi vessels in the Red Sea.
