Disputed · Al-Kharj, Saudi Arabia ·
The Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted a cruise missile launched by the Houthis over Al-Kharj, south of Riyadh, as relayed by Middle East Eye and @OSINTWarfare. Iran-aligned Tasnim News, citing unnamed Arab sources, reports loud explosions in Al Kharj and says the cruise missile hit its target directly.

Verification
Disputed: 2 independent sources.
Sources disagree on:
- Outcome differs: the Saudi-led coalition says the missile was intercepted, while Tasnim News says it hit its target near Al-Kharj.
- Tasnim reports loud explosions shaking Al Kharj; the coalition's account, as relayed in the claims, mentions no impact or explosions on the ground.
- Attribution differs in wording: the coalition and @OSINTWarfare name the Houthis as launcher, while Tasnim refers only to a 'Yemeni cruise missile' attributed to unnamed Arab sources.
- Tasnim's posts (22:26 and 22:55 UTC) came after the coalition-attributed report (22:15 UTC), and Tasnim's second post names no launcher or interception.
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.

This table may include reports the automated review judged to be about another incident.
No detail reads as corroborated while the event itself does not.
