Saudi Arabia said Wednesday it had intercepted seven ballistic missiles in separate attacks targeting an air base and its eastern region, as Iran renewed fire on its Gulf neighbours.
“Six ballistic missiles launched towards Prince Sultan Air Base intercepted and destroyed,” the Saudi defence ministry posted on X, adding in a separate post that it had intercepted another ballistic missile launched “towards the eastern region”.
The kingdom’s forces also intercepted a wave of nine drones, including five destroyed east of the country’s Al Kharj province, the ministry said in separate tweets.
