Sirens were activated twice in Saudi Arabia overnight — in Al-Kharj and near the Yanbu port — according to the Hezbollah-affiliated channel Abu Ali Express. The channel assesses that Iran launched missiles at the kingdom for the first time in the current round of escalation, though no official confirmation has been reported.
The Hezbollah-affiliated channel Abu Ali Express reported at 10:24 Jerusalem that sirens were activated in Al-Kharj and near the Yanbu port overnight, assessing that Iran launched missiles at Saudi Arabia for the first time in the current round of escalation. The claim comes after hours of unconfirmed reports of sirens and explosions in the kingdom.
The Zioneer first reported sirens in Saudi Arabia at 01:55 Jerusalem, with subsequent updates detailing early warnings in several cities, explosions in Al Kharj, and a Ynet report. By 02:22 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported the alerts citing Israeli media, but without identifying a cause. The Abu Ali Express report now provides a specific attribution, though it remains a single-source claim from a Hezbollah-linked channel.
The Zioneer has previously documented Iranian missile attacks on Saudi Arabia, including a June 8 report that Iran struck Prince Sultan Air Base in response to Israeli strikes. Broader coverage has tracked Iranian missile launches toward Jordan, Kuwait, and Gulf waters throughout the current escalation.
The report is unverified by independent or official sources. Saudi authorities have not commented, and no details on interceptions or casualties have emerged. The assessment of a first direct Iranian missile attack on Saudi soil in this round is the channel's own.
