Saudi Arabia’s air defenses intercepted and destroyed four ballistic missiles launched from Iran at the Eastern Province early on Tuesday, spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense Major General Turki Al-Malki said.
Later, Al-Malki said seven additional ballistic missiles launched toward the Eastern Province were also intercepted and destroyed. He added that debris from the interceptions fell near energy facilities, with authorities currently assessing potential damage.
At dawn on Tuesday, the Saudi Civil Defense issued two early-morning alerts in the Eastern Province via the National Emergency Warning Platform, warning residents of potential danger.
The alerts were lifted minutes later, with authorities urging the public to continue following official guidance, avoid gatherings, refrain from taking photos, and stay away from hazardous areas.
