An Iranian drone strike disabled a U.S. AN/FPS-117 early warning radar located at Al-Qaisumah Airport in northeastern Saudi Arabia, as reported by Clash Report on X.

The radar is a key component of the air defence system and is capable of detecting aircraft, missiles, and drones at distances of several hundred kilometres.
