Saudi Arabia says it intercepted and destroyed three drones after they entered its airspace from Iraq on Sunday morning. The Saudi Ministry of Defence says the drones were neutralised after crossing into Saudi territory. The ministry also states that the kingdom “reserves the right to respond,” and that it will take “operational measures” against any attempt to violate its sovereignty and security.

The information provided does not include additional details such as the drones’ origin beyond Iraq, the time of interception, their intended targets, or who deployed them. As presented across the sources, the event is framed as a security measure following an airspace incursion, with Saudi Arabia indicating it may respond further if similar attempts occur.
