 Iran’s Fars: Explosions and warning sirens in Saudi Arabia; Yemeni attacks on Jazan and Najran

According to Saudi media reports, explosions have been heard in the cities of Yanbu, Jazan, and Najran in the past few hours.

Reports indicate that explosions were heard in Najran and Jazan after missiles were fired from Yemen. These two cities have also been targeted by Yemeni attacks in recent weeks.

• Saudi Arabia issued warnings earlier for Jazan and Najran, with a follow-up shortly after mentioning that the danger had passed.
• A warning was not issued for Yanbu by Saudi Civil Defense, and it should be noted that Iranian outlets typically exaggerate claims when it comes to reports of explosions in neighbouring countries and are not often corroborated on these matters. 

Irib reports "the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that the duration of the country's Foreign Minister's stay in New York has not been extended.

• "According to a report from the IRIB (Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting) correspondent in New York, Ismail Baghaei, in an exclusive interview with the IRIB correspondent in New York, responded to a question about whether the news of an extension of the Foreign Minister's stay in New York was related to the negotiations, stating: "No, there has been no extension.""
• "Baghaei also said regarding the timing of Mr. Iraqchi's return to Tehran: "The Foreign Minister's return to Tehran will be according to the previous schedule.""
