RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, March 11, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Saudi Arabia said Wednesday it had intercepted seven ballistic missiles in separate attacks targeting an air base and its eastern region, as Iran renewed fire on its Gulf neighbours. "Six ballistic missiles launched towards Prince Sultan Air Base intercepted and destroyed," the Saudi defence ministry posted on X, adding in a separate post that it had intercepted another ballistic missile launched "towards the eastern region". Prince Sultan air base is located in Al Kharj province and is where a US soldier suffered injuries in a March 1 strike before dying a week later. Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Tuesday they launched a new salvo of missiles at Israeli cities including Tel Aviv and US targets in the region. Bahrain has been targeted by waves of Iranian drones and missiles, which have so far killed two people in the country, according to authorities.
