The interceptions occurred over a short span of time, marking an unusually intense wave of aerial threats.
The surge in drone activity comes as regional tensions tied to the escalating war involving Iran continue to rise. In recent periods, sites such as the United States Embassy in Riyadh, key oil infrastructure, and a military base hosting United States troops have been among the locations targeted.
