Missile Attacks and Security Situation
Recently, Saudi media reported hearing explosions in various areas including northern Riyadh and Dhahran. According to reports, coalition armed forces led by Saudi Arabia successfully intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles that were fired towards Haradh and Dhahran. These attacks have been specifically claimed by the Yemeni army.
In light of these developments, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) has also issued security warning number 170, advising ships and commercial vessels in the area to exercise greater caution. This warning is particularly applicable to transit through the Strait of Hormuz and nearby areas.
