Saudi Arabia Intercepts 6 Missiles and Dozens of Drones Amid Fresh Iranian Barrage.

RIYADH: Saudi Arabian air defenses successfully intercepted and destroyed six ballistic missiles and at least 30 drones launched by Iran early Sunday morning. According to the Saudi Defense Ministry, the missiles were targeted at Al-Kharj, home to the strategic Prince Sultan Air Base, while the majority of the drones were neutralized over the Eastern Province and the Riyadh region.

This latest escalation is part of a week-long campaign of nightly strikes by Iran across the Gulf region. In Bahrain, authorities reported intercepting over 300 projectiles since the conflict began, noting that the violence has already claimed lives in the kingdom. Meanwhile, Kuwaiti defense forces downed five drones in the last 24 hours, though a strike on the international airport’s radar system has forced a continued halt to all flights. The regional tension remains high as Gulf nations bolster their defenses against these persistent nightly barrages. (Arab News)
