SANAA, Dec. 20 (YPA) – The National Center for Meteorology and Early Warning issued a high-level alert on Saturday regarding a severe cold wave sweeping across 14 Yemeni provinces, primarily affecting mountainous highlands and inland plateaus.

The Center warned of potential frost formation, urging the elderly, children, and farmers to take all necessary precautions to mitigate the impact of the low temperatures.
