Location: Riyadh

Event: There are media reports of a missile attack on Riyadh. The U.S. Embassy Riyadh urges U.S. citizens to take immediate precautions and stay alert in case of additional 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.
