On Monday night, drones hit the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia, causing a small fire at the diplomatic compound, according to Al Jazeera. The embassy sustained only minor damage, with some reports describing the fire as limited. This incident followed an Iranian attack on the ARAMCO oil facility in Ras Tanura, with videos of both events circulating widely on social media.
