A spokesman for the Saudi border guard, Salim al-Salmi, told Saudi Elaf news Saturday that border guards have utilized all material and human resources to face any threat.
 
Al-Salmi said operational and intelligence preparations are continuing according to plans aimed at control the border and are updated as required by the security situation and conditions on the ground.
