On Sunday, Riyadh intercepted and destroyed three drones after they entered the Kingdom’s airspace from Iraq. Neither the Iraqi government nor the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI) has publicly commented on the incident.
The IRI, an umbrella network of Iran-aligned Iraqi armed factions, previously claimed multiple drone and missile attacks targeting regional sites during the recent Iran-US conflict.
