Disputed · Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ·
An anonymous X account, MenchOsint, posts that Ansarallah shot down a Saudi F-15SA on 16 September; its two posts name different aircraft (F-15SA and Typhoon) and dates (16 September and 15 October). Separately, CBS News, Arab News and The Daily Star report attacks on a Saudi airport or on Riyadh, with The Daily Star citing one dead and an earlier Houthi strike that killed 13, but none of these outlets mention a downed aircraft. No official confirmation was found.

- MenchOsint post 2 says a Saudi F-15SA was shot down on 16 September, while MenchOsint post 5 says a Saudi Typhoon was struck on 15 October.
- Only the MenchOsint posts mention a downed or struck aircraft; CBS News, Arab News and The Daily Star report airport or capital attacks and do not mention any aircraft.
- CBS News attributes the attacks on the Saudi capital to the Houthis, while Arab News and The Daily Star do not name an attacker.
- The Daily Star reports one dead in a new attack on a Saudi airport a day after a Houthi strike killed 13; no other listed source reports 13 deaths, and The Daily Star does not name the city.
- Arab News places the attack in Riyadh, while the MenchOsint posts give only Saudi Arabia as the location.
