Saudi Arabia intercepted two Houthi drones targeting the Riyadh region, according to Anadolu Agency, which cited a coalition spokesman.
The spokesman said the coalition is continuing to track missile and drone threats, the report said, though it did not specify the exact timing, location, or type of drones involved beyond their general direction toward the Riyadh area.
Part of a broader pattern
Anadolu Agency's report did not detail any damage, casualties, or further operational specifics related to the interception. It also did not include comment from Houthi representatives on the incident.
The interception follows a series of Houthi drone and missile attacks against Saudi territory in recent months, though the report did not draw an explicit comparison to prior incidents or provide additional context on the broader conflict.
