Indian Embassy says, Follow Saudi Safety Directives Amid Security Concerns

The Indian Embassy in Riyadh today urged Indian nationals to follow Saudi safety directives amid security concerns following Houthi drone and missile attacks. The advisory asks people to shelter indoors, stay away from windows and open areas, avoid filming incidents and follow official alerts. Motorists have been advised to stop away from bridges and high-rise buildings.

For emergencies, people can call 911 in Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh and the Eastern Province, and 998 in other parts of Saudi Arabia. The advisory follows a drone and missile attack on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport on October 10 that killed an Indian national and injured several others.
