Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted Houthi drones over Riyadh

Corroborated · Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ·

The Saudi-led coalition says it intercepted drones over Riyadh and southern Saudi Arabia on Monday evening, 26 October, and attributes them to the Houthis; outlets relaying the statement differ on the hour, with some giving 25 October evening. A separate coalition statement says it intercepted ballistic missiles aimed at Riyadh, Taif and Yanbu and a drone aimed at the Eastern Region. MintPress News, an anonymous source, reports Yemeni drone swarms targeted Riyadh and that locals reported explosions, without confirming any 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.
