ALBAWABA - Drones struck the United States Embassy in Saudi Arabia casuing a "limited fire" on Monday night at the diplomatic compound, Al Jazeera reported.
The United States Embassy in the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh, was hit by two drones, and a “limited fire” erupted near the building, the Saudi Defense Ministry announced.
The Ministry added that a fire broke out at the embassy, but the diplomatic compound sustained only "minor" damage.
A video was shared on social media showing the moment of drones attack, and a black smoke was seen above Riyadh's Diplomatic Quarter, which houses foreign missions, Reuters reported.
On the other hand, U.S. President Donald Trump warned of a harsh response to the embassy attack and the killing of several American service members. "You’ll find out soon," he said.
