فِي السَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ يُولْيُو ٢٠٢٦، قَالَتْ وِزَارَةُ الدِّفَاعِ السُّعُودِيَّةُ إِنَّ الدِّفَاعَ الْجَوِّيَّ السُّعُودِيَّ اعْتَرَضَ وَدَمَّرَ عِدَّةَ طَائِرَاتٍ مُسَيَّرَةٍ.
وَقَالَتِ الْوِزَارَةُ إِنَّ الطَّائِرَاتِ حَاوَلَتِ اسْتِهْدَافَ مُنْشَآتٍ نَفْطِيَّةٍ فِي الرِّيَاضِ وَالْمِنْطَقَةِ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ.
وَأَضَافَتْ أَنَّ الْمُسَيَّرَاتِ جَاءَتْ مِنْ أَرَاضٍ عِرَاقِيَّةٍ، وَاتَّهَمَتْ جَمَاعَاتٍ مُسَلَّحَةً تَدْعَمُهَا إِيرَانُ.
وَفِي الْعِرَاقِ، أَعْلَنَتِ الْحُكُومَةُ فَتْحَ تَحْقِيقٍ فِي الْمَوْضُوعِ. وَقَالَتْ إِنَّهَا تَرْفُضُ اسْتِخْدَامَ أَرَاضِي الْعِرَاقِ لِمُهَاجَمَةِ دُوَلٍ مُجَاوِرَةٍ. وَهِيَ تَدْرُسُ مَعْلُومَاتٍ قَدَّمَتْهَا السُّعُودِيَّةُ، وَلَمْ تُعْلِنِ السُّلْطَاتُ الْعِرَاقِيَّةُ بَعْدُ مَنْ أَرْسَلَ هٰذِهِ الطَّائِرَاتِ.
