A Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) office in the US embassy in Saudi Arabia was hit by a suspected Iranian drone.
This was revealed by "Reuters". The agency cited its sources.
The CIA declined to comment.
Saudi Arabia's air defense systems shot down nine drones that entered the kingdom's airspace, the kingdom's Defense Ministry announced.
Riyadh is ready to take all measures to ensure the country's security. This is clear from a statement by the Saudi government.
Two Iranian drones hit the US embassy in the Saudi capital Riyadh on Monday. According to The Washington Post, one of them hit a CIA station in the embassy compound.
Both the US and Saudi governments confirmed the attack, although neither confirmed that the CIA station was hit.
The State Department said the building suffered “structural damage“ and that embassy personnel were “continuing to shelter in place“.
