Saudi Arabia's air defense forces intercepted and destroyed seven ballistic missiles targeting Riyadh early Monday, the Ministry of Defense announced.

Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Turki al-Malki stated that the interceptions occurred in two incidents, one involving four missiles and the other three, all aimed at the capital. No damage or casualties were reported from the event.

The strikes come amid a series of Iranian missile and drone attacks on Saudi territory that began on February 28, following U.S. and Israeli military actions against Iran. Riyadh has faced multiple threats, including ballistic missiles and drones targeting key sites such as Prince Sultan Air Base and the international airport.

Earlier Sunday, Saudi defenses intercepted five ballistic missiles, one cruise missile, and 10 drones over the Eastern Province. In a separate development that day, seven ballistic missiles were launched toward Riyadh, with two intercepted, one destroyed, and four landing in the Arabian Gulf or uninhabited areas.

On Friday, six ballistic missiles headed for the Riyadh region prompted interceptions of two, while the rest fell harmlessly into open waters or desert areas. More than 10 drones targeting the capital since midnight that day were also downed.

Since late February, Saudi Arabia has repelled hundreds of such attacks, including 740 drones, 54 ballistic missiles, and seven cruise missiles, according to defense reports. Most threats have been neutralized before impact, limiting damage to debris fallout in some cases.

Casualties from the broader campaign remain low, with two civilians killed and 12 injured in an early March incident near Al-Kharj, alongside U.S. military losses at bases hosting American troops. Saudi officials have condemned the attacks as violations of international law and affirmed their right to defend against further aggression.

The kingdom has expelled Iranian defense attaches and joined Gulf neighbors in issuing warnings to Tehran. Riyadh continues to bolster its defenses, including recent deals for advanced interceptors, as tensions escalate in the region.
