Riade soa alertas de ataque aéreo pela primeira vez desde o início da escalada houthi
A Arábia Saudita emitiu alertas de ataque aéreo em toda Riade na noite de 18 de setembro e início de 19 de setembro, o primeiro aviso desse tipo para a capital desde que os ataques houthis contra o reino se intensificaram. Nenhuma vítima foi relatada, e o Conselho de Segurança da ONU alertou que o conflito corre o risco de se espalhar ainda mais.

Sirenes de ataque aéreo soaram em toda Riade na noite de 18 de setembro e nas primeiras horas de 19 de setembro de 2026, marcando a primeira vez que a capital saudita é colocada sob esse tipo de alerta desde que o movimento houthi do Iêmen intensificou seus ataques contra o reino. A autoridade de Defesa Civil da Arábia Saudita emitiu avisos cobrindo várias regiões, e moradores relataram ter ouvido o som de explosões após os alertas.
Autoridades sauditas disseram que os alertas foram posteriormente suspensos e que a situação havia sido controlada, sem vítimas ou danos relatados. Os avisos ocorreram em meio a uma intensificação mais ampla dos ataques houthis com mísseis e drones contra o território saudita, incluindo ataques a infraestrutura petrolífera e instalações militares em outras partes do reino nas últimas semanas.
O Conselho de Segurança das Nações Unidas alertou que os confrontos crescentes entre os houthis e a Arábia Saudita correm o risco de expandir ainda mais o conflito pela região. O alerta sobre Riade ressalta o alcance crescente dos ataques houthis, que antes se concentravam nas áreas de fronteira sauditas e rotas marítimas antes de se voltarem para o interior e a capital do reino.
