US officials have accused Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of conducting surprise ballistic missile attacks. The accusation comes amid heightened regional tensions.
Saudi Arabia announced that its air defense forces intercepted several drones. No further details were provided on the origin or targets of the drones.
