Greek Patriot Missiles Intercept Iranian Ballistic Missiles

Greek Patriot air defense systems deployed in Saudi Arabia intercepted Iranian ballistic missiles. The systems were activated following a threat alert and launched two missiles to intercept the target. Saudi Arabia had previously reported the downing of a ballistic missile heading towards the city of Yanbu, which hosts a major oil refinery. The impact of the attacks was limited, but the incident underscores the escalating tensions in the region.
