Saudi Air Defenses Thwart Drone Attacks on Oil Facilities
Saudi Arabia's air defenses intercepted and destroyed several drones launched from Iraqi territory targeting oil facilities in the kingdom, according to a Defense Ministry statement.
The attempted attacks originated from Iraq and were carried out by 'Iran-backed terrorist militias', the ministry said.
The incident comes despite a recent lull in direct military exchanges between the US and Iran. There has been no comment from Iraq on the Saudi statement as of yet.
