Saudi Interior Ministry Spokesman Mansour Al-Turki said yesterday that the kingdom is on alert for possible terror attacks on oil or other commercial facilities, Reuters reported.

“There was information about a possible act targeting a mall or Aramco installations,” Al-Turki told Reuters. “We passed this information to the security forces to be on alert.”

He said he had no further information about the threat.

On March 26, Saudi launched Operation Storm of Resolve to regain stability in Yemen, after the Iran-backed Houthi rebels usurped control of the country.
