India warns nationals in Saudi Arabia not to film missile interceptions
India has advised its nationals in Saudi Arabia to follow local laws and not film or share information about missile and drone interceptions, warning that doing so exposes them to legal liability.
India on Sunday advised its nationals in Saudi Arabia to abide by local rules and regulations and refrain from filming or publishing information related to missile and drone interceptions, as Houthi attacks on civilian infrastructure in the kingdom continue The Hindu.
“The Indian community residing in Saudi Arabia is requested to abide by local rules and regulations,” the Indian Embassy said on social media, reposting a notification from the Saudi Directorate of Civil Defence. “Filming, publishing, or sharing information related to countering missiles and drones and their impact sites exposes you to legal liability,” the notification said.
The advisory comes amid a series of drone and missile attacks targeting civilian infrastructure by Yemen’s Houthis. According to a post by Al Arabiya English cited by Firstpost, Saudi forces shot down 11 ballistic missiles, one cruise missile and two drones in less than 12 hours Firstpost.
The Indian mission also repeated its update on flight suspensions: Air India and Air India Express services to and from Riyadh and Dammam remain suspended until 7 November, with Jeddah services halted until 31 October. The Consulate General of India in Jeddah issued a similar advisory, and said its 24×7 control rooms in Jeddah and Makkah continued to assist affected Indians with food, essential medicines and other immediate requirements.
Meanwhile, Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport is preparing to resume domestic and international flight operations on Sunday, Gulf News reported, and the Saudi-led coalition said air defences intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched towards Riyadh on Sunday.
