U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia Suffered Severe Damage from Iranian Drone Strike, Report Reveals
A recent report has disclosed that the damage from an Iranian drone strike on the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was far more severe than initially reported. According to unnamed U.S. officials, the attack, which occurred on March 3, involved two drones that penetrated the embassy's defenses, causing significant damage. The first drone created a breach in the compound's walls, allowing the second drone to enter and detonate, resulting in a fire that took several hours to extinguish. The attack occurred at approximately 1:30 a.m., which prevented a potential mass-casualty event. The damage included three floors of the embassy, including a CIA station. Despite the severity, Saudi officials had previously reported only minor damage. The incident is part of a series of retaliatory actions following joint Israeli-U.S. strikes on February 28.
