The United States Embassy in the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh, was hit by two drones and a “limited fire” broke out at the diplomatic compound, the Saudi Ministry of Defence has said.
The strike on the US Embassy early on Tuesday also caused “minor material damage” to the compound, the Defence Ministry said in a statement, while there were reports later that more drones were targeting the site amid Iran’s retaliation across the Gulf to US-Israeli attacks.
