Corroborated · Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ·
The Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted drones and ballistic missiles launched by the Houthis towards Riyadh, with reports dated 24 to 25 October 2026. Several outlets report explosions heard in Riyadh, and the Houthis say they targeted sites in Riyadh, Yanbu, Rabigh, Dammam and Najran, with Riyadh airport among the claimed targets. Reports differ on the number of drones and missiles intercepted, which the summary attributes to the coalition's own statements.

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.
