Saudi Ministry of Defence Neutralises 2 Missiles and 8 Drones Aimed at Eastern Region

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Defence stated Thursday morning that two ballistic missiles had been intercepted and destroyed, as well as eight drones.

Al-Malki reported that eight drones and two ballistic missiles were intercepted and destroyed in recent hours, all of which were aimed at the Eastern Province.

Iranian aggression is “not unlimited,” the Saudi FM warns.

Saudi Arabia has reiterated that its top aim in the ongoing dispute with Iran is to stop attacks on Gulf neighbours, highlighting regional stability. Following a meeting of foreign ministers in Riyadh, Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud emphasised the Kingdom’s pressing concerns. “What I worry about today is that the attacks on my country and my surrounding countries, which are not involved in this conflict, stop. “That is all I am interested in.”

He stated that Riyadh would use all possible tools to achieve this. “We are going to use every lever we have, political, economic, diplomatic … to get these attacks to stop.” However, he emphasised that Saudi Arabia reserves the right to respond militarily if necessary, emphasising that it will not bow to pressure.

Prince Faisal condemned Iran’s approach to its neighbours, claiming it depends on pressure rather than dialogue. He described recent strikes as deliberate and stated, “What little trust there was has been completely shattered.” He also accused Iran of targeting civilian infrastructure and attempted intimidation, urging Tehran to reconsider its conduct and stop the strikes.
