RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s air defences intercepted and destroyed two drones on Wednesday, the Ministry of Defence said.
The ministry’s spokesperson, Major General Turki Al-Maliki, said the drones were detected and neutralised in recent hours.
The latest interception comes as Saudi Arabia has shot down dozens of drones in recent weeks, targeting key regions including the oil-rich Eastern Province.
The Iran war, which began on Feb. 28, has entered its second month, with Iranian missile and drone attacks increasingly targeting Gulf states and critical energy infrastructure.
