KABUL: A Saudi-led military coalition said on Wednesday that it had intercepted and shot down a drone in Saudi Arabia’s eastern region.
According to Reuters, further details about the drone’s launch location, potential damage or casualties were not immediately available.
Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province is home to major oil and gas reserves as well as key facilities operated by state-owned energy giant Saudi Aramco.
The incident comes amid a series of drone attacks targeting the kingdom’s eastern region in recent days, with the military coalition previously reporting the interception of several other drones.
