Saudi Arabia on Saturday issued an urgent statement concerning the filming or documenting attacks against the country.

“Filming, publishing, or sharing information related to countering missiles and drones and their impact sites exposes you to legal liability,” the General Directorate of Saudi Civil Defense warned on the X platform.

Earlier on Saturday, the Saudi Civil Defense announced that the threat had passed for the governorates of Taif, Jeddah, and Yanbu, as well as the Makkah region.

It urged residents to continue following safety instructions and to strictly avoid gathering in crowds or taking photographs.
