Corroborated · Dammam, Saudi Arabia ·
The Saudi-led coalition says its air defences intercepted and destroyed three ballistic missiles launched by the Houthis toward Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province early on Tuesday, 27 October, with no casualties, and that four drones were aimed at the southern region. The Houthis claim they targeted four locations in Saudi Arabia with ballistic missiles and a drone, and Telegram and local accounts report explosions in Dammam and Khobar with no confirmed cause.

Corroborated: 4 independent sources.
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.
