Saudi civil defence has issued alerts, warning of potential danger in the Abha and Khamis Mushait areas of the country.

However, the authorities later said that the danger had passed.

The Saudi-led coalition has said that it carried out a military operation to “neutralise vital resources” used by the Houthi militia to support its war effort and strengthen its military capabilities, particularly ballistic missiles and drones.

Coalition spokesperson Turki al-Maliki said in a statement that the operation took place Sunday morning following continued Houthi militia attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure in Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

The coalition’s joint forces command had monitored the Houthis’ “continued use of vital resources to support their war effort and bolster their military capabilities, especially ballistic missiles and drones,” he said.

Iran is rapidly strengthening its armed forces’ combat capabilities to enable them to respond “without geographical limits", Defence Minister Mehrdad Akhlaghi Ketabchi said.

Speaking to reporters, Akhlaghi said Iran was moving “resolutely” to enhance its armed forces’ smart combat capabilities under directives from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.

“We are rapidly increasing our armed forces’ combat capabilities to be able to respond without geographical limits,” he said.

Iran “will not be caught off guard, nor will we be stopped, and any type of attack will receive an appropriate, decisive and effective response,” he added.

Akhlaghi stressed that Iran “would not be surprised by threats, halted by pressure or dependent on the will of others in pursuing scientific and technological progress.”

Gaza's interior ministry says the five people killed in the strike were identified as police officers.

Qatar has strongly condemned an attack on the liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker Al Mayeda while it was sailing in the Gulf, warning that the incident threatened maritime navigation and global energy supplies.

In a statement, the foreign ministry said the vessel belonged to Qatar Gas Transport Company, known as Nakilat.

The ministry described the attack as “a dangerous act that threatens the safety of maritime navigation and the security of global energy supplies.”

Qatar “reserves the right to take all necessary measures under international law and the UN Charter to protect its property, safeguard its interests and ensure the safety of its vessels and crews,” it said.

Yamaha has said it will not participate in next weekend's Qatar MotoGP, citing "the situation in the Middle East".

Yamaha stated in its statement that it would not be taking the risk of going to Qatar.

"Yamaha has not identified sufficient grounds to change its existing company-wide travel restrictions," the Japanese manufacturer said.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said talks with Qatari mediators to end the US-Iran war are ongoing and progressing, without a definitive conclusion yet, and hopes for rationality on the other side, Iranian state media has reported.

"We hope that there is rationality on the other side," Araghchi said.

Diplomatic efforts to end the war have been punctuated by repeated threats from the United States and Israel to resume bombardments of Iran.

Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council issued two decrees, appointing new governors for al-Bayda in central Yemen and al-Jawf in the north, two provinces partially controlled by the Houthi militia.

The government-run Saba News Agency said it appointed Major General Hussein al-Ajji Ali al-Awadhi as governor of al-Bayda.

The agency added that Major General Amin Ali al-Akimi was also named governor of al-Jawf and commander of its military axis.

Al-Awadhi replaces former al-Bayda governor Nasser al-Sawadi, while al-Akimi takes over al-Jawf from al-Awadhi, who had served as the province’s governor.

OPEC+ oil-producing countries kept production targets steady for December at a meeting, confirming expectations that more policy adjustments will not occur until next year, as the group continues to struggle with export disruptions from the Iran war.

Seven core OPEC+ members — Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan and Oman — decided in an online meeting on Sunday, OPEC said in a statement.

While Gulf members have been boosting exports that have been disrupted for months by the conflict, most are still pumping well below their targets.

OPEC+ comprises the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies including Russia. Only the seven members – plus the United Arab Emirates until it quit OPEC in May – have been involved in monthly output decisions in recent years. All members of the 21-country group are due to meet on November 29, when analysts expect it will decide 2027 quotas.
