🚨 πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¦ Saudi Arabia issues emergency warnings for Riyadh, Al-Kharj and Najran (attack reports unconfirmed)

  • πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¦ Saudi Civil Defence issued National Early Warning Platform alerts of potential danger for Najran, Riyadh City and Al-Kharj in quick succession (), confirmed by newswires
  • πŸ‡ΎπŸ‡ͺ Unverified accounts on social media speak of Houthi missile salvos towards the three areas and explosions in the capital; there is no official confirmation of any launch, interception or hit so far

FO view: A warning over the capital widens the Gulf risk beyond the oil-producing east, which supports the strike premium in oil and gold, though the overnight episode faded fast once an interception was confirmed.

Not investment advice.
