Saudi Arabia: Has stopped three drones from Iraq
Saudi Arabia has shot down three drones that came from Iraqi airspace, reports Sky News.
The military "reserves the right to respond appropriately at the appropriate time," writes a spokesperson on X.
The announcement comes after three drones were fired at the United Arab Emirates earlier today, one of which caused a fire in a generator outside a power plant.
These came from the area around the border with Saudi Arabia in the west, according to the United Arab Emirates, which does not point out any specific country or actor.
Since the ceasefire between the US and Iran, attacks in the region have decreased, but drones have been fired from Iraq against Gulf states such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
Saudi Arabia: “A threat to our entire region”
Saudi Arabia condemns the drone attack on its ally, the United Arab Emirates, Reuters reports.
The Saudi Foreign Ministry calls the attack “a threat to the security and stability of the region” and expresses solidarity with the neighboring country.
Three drones were fired today from the Saudi border into the western emirate of Abu Dhabi, according to the United Arab Emirates, which does not identify any country or actor.
Two of the drones were shot down, but the third hit a generator outside a nuclear power plant. No one was injured.
United Arab Emirates: Drones came from the western border
Three drones were fired at the United Arab Emirates from the country's western border today, the country's Defense Ministry said, according to Reuters.
