Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Defence said Sunday (March 22) three ballistic missiles were detected around the capital, as the kingdom and its Gulf neighbours face Iranian strikes in retaliation for U.S.-Israeli attacks.

“One missile was intercepted, while the other two fell in an uninhabited area,” a spokesperson for the Ministry posted on social media.

Early Sunday (March 22) morning, the Saudi Civil Defence issued a warning, before cancelling it seven minutes later after determining the danger had passed.
