Saudi Civil Defense Khamis Mushait missile alert

A ballistic missile aimed at Khamis Mushait was intercepted by the coalition earlier today, according to the coalition's account. Saudi Civil Defense had already pushed out an early-warning alert over potential danger for the city, and afterward word came that the threat had passed. The pattern repeats: alerts keep coming, which points to sustained Houthi threats against southwestern Saudi Arabia and the strain that puts on its air defenses. The graphic from SaudiDCD walks through what to do if a warning lands from the National Early Warning Platform for Emergencies, with 998.gov.sa listed for reference.
