Saudi Arabia intercepts Iraq drones

Saudi Arabiaโ€™s Ministry of Defense has confirmed the interception of three hostile drones that originated from Iraqi airspace on Sunday morning.

The drones were successfully neutralized before reaching their intended targets, though the specific objectives remain unknown.

This incident follows a sharp condemnation from Riyadh regarding a separate drone attack on the UAE's Barakah nuclear plant.

The flurry of aerial activity highlights the increasing instability across the Gulf as regional powers and their proxies engage in a widening shadow war.
