“The injured worker is in a stable condition and is being treated in a hospital with the support of his employer,” it added.
In a report on Reuters, at least 12 people were injured after Saudi’s air defense intercepted a drone attack led by Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthi group.
“We continue to coordinate with the local authorities and the Filipino community to ensure the security and safety of Filipinos in Saudi Arabia,” the embassy said.
Filipinos were also urged to monitor the situation and remain vigilant.
