Saudi Arabia’s civil defence agency issued a brief warning calling for residents of the eastern city of Dammam to take shelter, only to lift the order minutes later, according to AFP.
“An alert has been issued by the National Platform for Early Warning in Emergency Situations in the city of Dammam to warn of danger,” the agency said in a statement posted online.
The warning was called off just moments later, and came as air raid sirens were activated in nearby Bahrain.
