An Iranian one-way drone attack last month on the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia’s capital of Riyadh did more extensive damage than previously disclosed, penetrating a secure part of the embassy and heavily damaging three floors as well as a station for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), while sparking a blaze that raged for half a day, current and former American officials have told The New York Times.
The Iranian attack on the embassy, which occurred March 3rd when an Iranian drone evaded air defenses guarding Riyadh’s gated Diplomatic Quarter and slammed into the American compound. A minute later, a second drone flew into the hole made by the first one and also exploded, the officials said. More drones were intercepted that night a few hours later, one was thought to be targeting the residence of the highest-ranking U.S. diplomat in Saudi Arabia, located a few hundred feet from the U.S. Embassy.
