Earlier, the directorate had issued an alert via its official account on X, stating that the national early warning platform for emergencies had activated an alert in Jazan.

Previously, Civil Defense had stressed the importance of remaining calm, following official instructions, staying indoors, moving to an internal room or a safe area away from windows, and not leaving the house or building until the threat had passed.

The guidelines also advised staying away from open areas and glass, avoiding balconies or rooftops, and for those outside, entering the nearest building or sheltering behind a solid barrier.

The directorate further emphasized avoiding gatherings and taking photos, and steering clear of hazardous locations. If a warning message is received while driving, motorists were advised to pull over safely away from bridges and tall buildings.
