Ss: Five U.S. Air Force refueling planes were struck and damaged on the ground at Prince Sultan air base in Saudi Arabia, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing two U.S. officials.
The planes, which were hit during an Iranian missile strike on the Saudi base in recent days, were damaged but not fully destroyed and are being repaired, the Journal said, adding that no one was killed in the strikes.

Earlier in the war Saudi Arabia was objecting to being targeted by Iran because they said no strikes were being launched from their country. But if you’ve got a bunch US refueling aircraft clustered on a runway somewhere… It’s a war. That’s fair game.
