Saudi Arabia issued a warning for Al-Kharj governorate early Monday, as state media reported sirens. The Saudi Civil Defense, at 5:28AM, said: “A warning has been issued by the National Early Warning Platform in Al-Kharj Governorate to warn of a danger,” and urged the general public to follow official instructions, including taking shelter in a safe place. The notice came after a dramatic escalation on Sunday between Iran and Israel, with both launching missiles at each other and risking a fragile ceasefire which has allowed negotiations to take place to find a lasting solution in the Middle East war. Iran launched missiles at Israel after Tehran had threatened to do so when the Israeli military struck the southern suburbs of Beirut. Israel struck back by hitting a number of Iranian cities early on Monday, including the capital Tehran. Saudi Arabia spent most of March shooting down Iranian drones and missiles in near-daily attacks after the US and israel launched a war against Iran on Feb. 28. The Kingdom and other Gulf Arab nations condemned the March attacks across the Middle East as “reckless and destabilizing”. READ MORE: Saudi Embassy in Italy Warns Against Online Tourism Scams
