The Times of Israel adds:
Iran also continued to hit targets in the Gulf.

A drone attack on a refinery owned by Kuwait’s national oil company on Friday sparked fires, while a separate Iranian attack damaged a power and desalination complex.

Shrapnel from intercepted drones injured four people in Bahrain on Saturday.

Separately, two buildings in Dubai were hit by debris, including one housing the US cloud computing firm Oracle, authorities in the United Arab Emirates said.

Extensive damage to US embassy in Saudi Arabia
[IsraelTimes] It was revealed Saturday that an Iranian drone attack on the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia in March resulted in more damage than was publicly said.

In the March 3 nighttime attack, two Iranian drones slammed into a secure area of the embassy where hundreds of people work during the day and heavily damaged three floors, including a CIA station, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing current and former American officials.

The attack resulted in a blaze that raged for half a day, leading to irreversible damage to parts of the compound, a person briefed on the matter said.

Officials said that if the embassy had been attacked during the working day, it would have caused a mass-casualty event. At the time, the Saudi Defense Ministry claimed the attack only resulted in limited fire and minor damage.
