RIYADH: Saudi Arabia on Sunday said it intercepted three drones after they entered its territory from Iraqi airspace.
The Kingdom’s defense ministry spokesman Major General Turki Al-Maliki said that it would take the necessary operational measures to respond to any attempt to violate its sovereignty and security.
Al-Maliki added it will also take action to ensure the safety of citizens and residents on Saudi territory.
While hostilities during the Iran conflict have largely been scaled down since a ceasefire came into effect in April, drones have been launched from Iraq towards Gulf countries.
