Riyadh: The Saudi defence ministry said it intercepted several drones launched by groups in Iraq on Monday, while the groups in Yemen also claimed attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure.
Saudi Arabia was repeatedly targeted by Iran at the height of the Middle East war, but the latest attacks come during a lull in the fighting since Saturday, following 13 days of exchanges of fire between the US and Iran.
The Saudi defence ministry said "terrorist attempts were launched from Iraqi territory", according to an official statement posted on social media.
The ministry said the drones targeted petroleum facilities in areas in the country's east and the capital Riyadh.
Saudi Arabia demanded that Iraq "take all necessary measures to ensure the prevention of the use of its territory as a launching point" for attacks, according to a separate statement posted by an official Saudi broadcaster.
