The Saudi Ministry of Defense announced on Monday that the country's air defense systems intercepted and destroyed drones that were launched from Iraq towards oil facilities in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia and also towards the city of Riyadh.

The ministry stated that these drones were flown by Iran-backed militia groups in Iraq.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs also condemned the attack and reiterated the country's right to respond to the source of the "aggression" and to deter those responsible for it.

The ministry also urged the Iraqi government to take all necessary measures to prevent the use of its territory as a launch pad for attacks against Saudi Arabia.
