US Embassy in Saudi Arabia warns of missile, drone attack in Dhahran
There is a ‘threat of imminent missile and UAV (drone) attacks over Dhahran, Saudi Arabia,” the US embassy in Saudi Arabia warned in a stark social media post on X today.
‘Do not come to the US Consulate. Take cover immediately. Do not go outside. The US Consulate in Dhahran urges US citizens in Dhahran to shelter in place, review security plans in the event of an attack, and to stay alert in case of additional future attacks. US Consulate personnel are sheltering in place,” it said.
The warning comes after the US embassy in Saudi Arabia was hit by two suspected Iranian drones, and two additional drones hit ‘at or near’ the embassy, which is in the capital city of Riyadh.
Dhahran is in the east of Saudi Arabia, closer to Iran.
