Following warnings from Saudi officials about the threat of airstrikes, a loud explosion was heard in Riyadh, the capital of the country, on Tuesday, October 21, along with several explosions near the headquarters of the Aramco oil company in Dhahran.

According to Agence France-Presse, Saudi officials sent alerts to the mobile phones of Riyadh residents, stating that the city is facing a "hostile air threat." Journalists from the agency reported hearing a loud explosion shortly after the warning was issued.

At the same time, six sources told Reuters that several loud explosions were heard near the Aramco headquarters in Dhahran, in eastern Saudi Arabia, and the facility has been evacuated.

One of these sources reported seeing smoke at the Aramco site, but the company has not yet issued an official response to these reports.

The Saudi-led military coalition also announced that debris from intercepting a projectile fell in a residential area in Dhahran.

Saudi officials also issued a warning of a potential airstrike in the Eastern Province of the country, but it was later announced that the threat had been resolved.
