A falling missile killed two people and wounded 12 others in central Saudi Arabia, the kingdom’s civil defence agency said, as regional tensions escalated following a wave of strikes linked to the widening conflict between Iran, Israel and the United States, TAS News Agency.

The victims were identified as Bangladeshi and Indian nationals, the agency said in a post on X.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps earlier said it had targeted radar systems at several locations, including the Saudi city of Al-Kharj, where the deaths were reported.
