RIYADH, March 8 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) – Saudi air defenses intercepted a missile headed toward Prince Sultan Air Base and two drones over northern Riyadh on Sunday night, the Saudi Ministry of Defense said.
In an earlier statement on X, the ministry said it had also intercepted a drone over the Empty Quarter desert while it was heading toward the Shaybah oil field.
A separate post reported the same details about the drone targeting Shaybah, though it was not immediately clear whether the ministry was referring to a separate incident.
The ministry also released footage that it said showed Saudi air defenses intercepting and destroying a number of drones launched toward the kingdom in recent days.
