"In a post on X, the Saudi Defense Ministry said at least 15 drones had been intercepted and destroyed within the kingdom's airspace. It also said the drones had tried to attack the diplomatic quarter in the capital, Riyadh."
"In Kuwait, the Defense Ministry said fuel tanks at the country's international airport had been targeted by Iranian attack drones early on Sunday. The army later said it had intercepted at least three ballistic missiles that had entered Kuwait's airspace."
"Pezeshkian later said that while Tehran remains committed to pursuing friendly relations with its neighbors in the region, he insisted Iran has a legitimate right to defend itself against the US-Israeli attacks. He said that Iran's broad retaliation campaign was targeting Israel and US military bases, facilities and other installations."
Iranian attack drones struck targets in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait early Sunday. Saudi Arabia intercepted at least 15 drones attempting to attack Riyadh's diplomatic quarter. Kuwait's air defenses responded to drone and missile threats, intercepting at least three ballistic missiles and destroying hostile targets, though fragments damaged civilian facilities and a skyscraper caught fire in Kuwait City. Fuel tanks at Kuwait's international airport were directly targeted. Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian apologized for the attacks while asserting Iran's right to defend itself against US-Israeli actions, stating the retaliation campaign targeted Israel and US military installations.
