Disputed · Riyadh, Saudi Arabia ·
Al Jazeera reports that the Saudi-led coalition intercepted a Houthi missile launched towards Riyadh, and the Saudi civil defence authority says it issued alerts through its national early warning platform and that the danger has passed. NewsCord reports that Houthi cruise missiles injured four people and damaged 15 homes in Riyadh, citing nine unnamed outlets, but the Al Jazeera and civil defence accounts do not mention casualties or damage.

Verification
Disputed: 2 independent sources.
Sources disagree on:
- NewsCord says the attack injured four people and damaged 15 homes in a Riyadh residential area; Al Jazeera and the Saudi civil defence authority describe an interception and say nothing about injuries or damage.
- NewsCord describes cruise missiles; Al Jazeera refers only to a missile and does not specify the type.
- NewsCord implies the missiles reached and hit the city; Al Jazeera reports the missile was intercepted before impact.
- NewsCord attributes the attack to Houthis citing nine outlets it does not name; the only named sources do not confirm the outlet count or the injury figure.
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.

No detail reads as corroborated while the event itself does not.
The disagreements listed under Verification are written by the automated review; this table is computed by rules, so the two lists can differ.
