Saudi Arabia is conducting live-fire drills during war games underway in the Gulf, AFP reported Tuesday (October 4th).
Exercise Gulf Shield 1 has begun with naval ships, aircraft, marines and "special units", the Saudi Press Agency said.
The manoeuvres are also taking place in the strategic Strait of Hormuz and the Sea of Oman.
Navy Brig. Majid al-Qahtani said the exercises, which are part of a series, include "shooting of live ammunition" as part of the effort to improve combat readiness and protect the kingdom's waters "against any possible aggression".
The news that Saudi Arabia is conducting marine manoeuvres, dubbed a-Jazeera Shield, has made me laugh! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
