Additionally, Saudi defense systems intercepted and destroyed three cruise missiles outside the city of Al-Kharj earlier at dawn today.
Saudi Arabia affirmed that it will take all necessary measures to defend its security and protect its territories, citizens, and residents against repeated Iranian attacks.
Israel and the United States have been conducting airstrikes on Iran since Saturday, which led to the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Since then, Tehran has retaliated by striking Israel and regional countries with missiles and drones.
Iran has also enforced a naval blockade on vessel transit through the Strait of Hormuz, targeting oil tankers attempting to pass. On Sunday, Hezbollah launched several rockets from Lebanon targeting northern Israel in response to Khamenei’s assassination, drawing Lebanon into an open war with Israel, which has since carried out devastating raids on southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut.
