Saudi Arabia said on Tuesday that its air defenses intercepted and destroyed several drones that attempted to target oil facilities in the kingdom's Eastern Province.

Saudi Arabia reserves the legitimate right to defend itself and its national capabilities and retains the right to respond "at the appropriate time and place," al-Maliki said.
