Security Alert: Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), Reports of Missile/Drone Attack

Location: Riyadh

Event: There are reports of a possible missile or drone strike over Riyadh. U.S. Embassy Riyadh urges U.S. citizens to review the following actions to take in the event of an attack and stay alert in case of additional future attacks.

 

Actions to Take:

·       If you hear a loud explosion or if sirens are activated, immediately seek cover.

·       If in a home or a building, go to the lowest level of the structure with the fewest exterior walls, windows, and openings; close any doors and sit near an interior wall, away from any windows or openings.

·       If you are outdoors, immediately seek cover in a hardened structure; if that is not possible, lie down and cover your head with your hands.

·       Be aware that even if the incoming missile or drone is intercepted, falling debris represents a significant risk.

·       After the attack, stay away from any debris, and monitor major news outlets for official guidance.
