In a statement, the Directorate urged the public to remain calm and immediately seek shelter in the nearest safe location inside a building or an interior room, away from windows, and to stay there until the danger has passed. It advised against leaving homes or buildings, avoiding open areas and glass, and refraining from standing on balconies or rooftops.
It emphasized that if outdoors, individuals should enter the nearest building or take cover behind a solid barrier, avoid gathering and taking photographs, and steer clear of hazardous sites. While driving, it recommended pulling over to the side of the road, away from bridges and tall buildings.
The Directorate also urged people to call the emergency number 998 upon noticing any danger and to follow instructions issued by relevant authorities through official channels.
