Defenses also shot down nine drones in the Empty Quarter that were fired at the Shaybah oilfield in the southeast and two others fired at the al-Jawf region in the north.
On Sunday, the Kingdom confirmed that a national from India and another from Bangladesh were killed after a military projectile fell onto a residential area in al-Kharj.
Twelve other Indians and Bangladeshis were wounded, said the civil defense directorate.
It condemned attempts to attack civilian areas, saying they were a flagrant violation of international law.
