Saudi Arabia intercepts 7 missiles; debris falls near energy facilities

April 7 (Reuters) - ‌Saudi ​Arabia ​said on Tuesday it intercepted ‌and destroyed seven ballistic missiles ⁠launched towards its Eastern ‌Region, with debris ‌falling near energy facilities, according to the defence ​ministry.

The ministry said work was underway ⁠to assess any damage but did ​not specify who launched the missiles.

Tehran has launched strikes on ‌Israel and Gulf Arab states that ‌host U.S. military ⁠installations.
