Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSaudi Arabia confirms it was targeted in an Iranian missile strike earlier today.
The Saudi foreign ministry says the kingdom was able to repel attacks on its capital, Riyadh, and on the country’s east.
The attack was unjustified and came despite “Iranian authorities’ knowledge of the kingdom’s confirmation that it won’t let its airspace or territory be used for an attack on Iran,” the ministry says.
“In light of this unjustified aggression, the Kingdom affirms that it will take all necessary measures to defend its security and protect its territory, citizens and residents, including with the option of responding to the aggression,” it says.
