Saudi Arabia stops ballistic missiles aimed at Prince Sultan Air Base

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia shot down seven ballistic missiles, the defense ministry said early Wednesday.
Six of the missiles were aimed at Prince Sultan Air Base, and the other was intercepted while heading to the Eastern Province.

Two drones were downed in Hafar Al-Batin, in north eastern Saudi Arabia, the ministry said.
The war, launched by the US and Israel on Iran, has escalated, impacting regional stability and sparking a global energy crisis.

Brent crude hit a historic $120 a barrel on Monday before settling back down to $90 a barrel on Tuesday.
The White House said that gas prices will plummet once US objectives in the war are reached.

The conflict could stretch on for months despite US President Donald Trump saying that it could be drawing to a close. But Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has said it will end when they decide.
