A Saudi Arabian arms company has signed a deal to buy Ukrainian-made interceptor missiles and the two countries are discussing a larger arms agreement that could be finalized this week, the Kyiv Independent reported on Tuesday, citing sources in Ukraine's defense industry.

One source said Riyadh and Kyiv were negotiating a "huge deal" that could be completed as early as March 11, the report said.

Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf states are seeking systems to counter ballistic missiles and Iranian-made Shahed drones following recent attacks across the region, according to the report.
