The Saudi Defense Ministry on Sunday said that a drone attack targeted Riyadh’s Diplomatic Quarter where the US Embassy and other foreign missions are
located. The ministry said the attack was thwarted without casualties or damage. Saudi kingdom's defence ministry said that they foiled an attack on Riyadh’s diplomatic area adding there were "no material damage or civilian injuries" from the attack. Saudis said that two additional drones have been intercepted. One was destroyed east of the capital, Riyadh, and another in the country’s "Empty Quarter" desert zone as it travelled towards the Shaybah oilfields. Even after Iran said that it won't target neighbours anymore, but hours after it assurance, Tehran launched missiles targeting a social security office in Kuwait as the country reported a strike on its Public Institution for Social Security. Kuwait said that the attack caused material damage to the office’s main building.
Not just Kuwait but other Gulf countries said that they have intercepted more ballistic missiles and drones launched from Iran.
A while ago, US President Donald Trump warned in a Truth Social post that more Iranian officials will be targets, saying, “Today Iran will be hit very hard!,” while noting an apology by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian earlier in the day to neighboring nations over Tehran’s attacks.

Early Sunday, an Israeli drone struck a room in a hotel in Beirut’s Raouche district, a major seaside tourist area, killing four people and wounding 10 others, according to Lebanon’s health ministry.
The military added that it “will not allow Iranian terrorist elements to establish themselves in Lebanese territory and will continue to eliminate, in a targeted manner, the commanders of the Iranian terrorist regime wherever they operate.”
