Disputed · Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ·
The Houthis say they launched a ballistic missile at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and that it hit its target; a Breitbart report says the Saudi-led coalition claims it intercepted the missile. Saudi ambassador Reema Bandar Al-Saud writes that a Houthi missile strike on the airport killed 13 people on Oct. 10, and the US Embassy in Riyadh says Houthis have attacked Saudi airports, including civilian ones, causing civilian casualties and travel disruption. A BBC video teaser cites footage of a missile hitting Riyadh airport on Saturday.

Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
