Saudi Arabia announced that it intercepted 56 drones that entered its airspace on Friday morning, according to Al Jazeera. The country’s defense ministry stated that one of the drones attempted to enter the diplomatic area in Riyadh, which is under tight security. The ministry did not specify who launched the drones.

A day earlier, on Thursday evening, the Saudi defense ministry reported intercepting 53 drones and five missiles within a 24-hour period. The latest incidents highlight a continuing pattern of aerial threats targeting Saudi territory, though the source of the attacks remains undisclosed.

The ministry has not provided further details about the origin or purpose of the drones, leaving uncertainty about the actors behind the repeated incursions.
