CIA Station in Saudi Arabia Struck by Iranian Drone

(Reuters) - The Central Intelligence Agency's station at the U.S. Embassy in ​Saudi Arabia was hit on Monday by ‌a suspected Iranian drone, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.

There is no ​indication the station was the target, ​the source said.

The CIA declined to comment.

The ⁠attack came amid ongoing strikes in the Middle ​East following Saturday's U.S. and Israeli attacks on ​Iran.

The embassy, which is located in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, is among the U.S. sites that ​have been hit so far in the ​conflict. Saudi Arabia's defense ministry said the embassy was ‌hit ⁠by two drones, which resulted in a limited fire and some material damage.

Washington's mission in the kingdom subsequently warned Americans to avoid ​the embassy ​until further ⁠notice "due to an attack" on the facility.

On Tuesday, it canceled routine ​and emergency U.S. citizen services appointments.

"There ​is ⁠a threat of imminent missile and UAV attacks over Dhahran. Do not come to the ⁠U.S. ​Consulate," the mission said ​in a security alert.
