An Iranian drone attack on the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia last month caused significantly more damage than previously acknowledged by authorities in the Kingdom and also struck a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) facility within the compound, according to a latest report by The Wall Street Journal, citing current and former American officials.
The attack took place in Riyadh on March 3, when a drone breached air defences protecting the Saudi capital’s Diplomatic Quarter and struck the US compound. Officials said a second drone followed shortly after, flying into the breach created by the first and detonating.
