Official Spokesperson of the Saudi Ministry of Defense Major General Turki Al-Maliki announced that the US Embassy in Riyadh was targeted by two drones, according to initial assessments.
He said the strikes resulted in a limited fire and minor material damage to the building, the Saudi Press Agency reported Tuesday.
A number of Gulf cities have been dealt collateral damage, hit by strikes and stray weaponry since the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran, killing Iran's supreme leader and other top officials.
The US mission in Riyadh asked its citizens in the capital as well as the cities of Jeddah and Dhahran to shelter in place.
