Saudi Arabia said its air defenses intercepted multiple drones and a ballistic missile targeting key installations across the kingdom. According to the Saudi Ministry of Defense, five drones were shot down before reaching their targets, including four intercepted over the Rub' al Khali while heading toward the strategic Shaybah Oil Field, one of Saudi Arabia’s major energy hubs.
