US embassy in Riyadh hit by two drones

The US Embassy in Riyadh was hit by two drones resulting in "limited" fire and minor material damage, a statement from the US Defence Ministry says.

The statement, seen by Reuters, says there are no injuries and the embassy was empty at the time.

In a statement on its website the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia has issued a shelter in place notification for Riyadh, Jeddah and Dhahran.

"We recommend American citizens in the Kingdom to shelter in place immediately and avoid the Embassy until further notice due to an attack on the facility," it said.
