Saudi Defense Ministry Confirms Two Drones Hit U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Causing Limited Fire

Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Defense officially confirmed that two drones struck the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh in the early hours of Tuesday, causing what officials described as a "limited fire." Reuters, citing two informed sources, reported that part of the embassy building caught fire following explosions heard by eyewitnesses across the city. The Associated Press cited Saudi authorities describing the blaze as contained. Earlier Monday, the U.S. State Department had urged Americans to leave the Middle East immediately due to "serious safety risks."
