Coalition reports missile interception towards eastern Saudi Arabia; Dammam all-clear issued
Media outlets carried the coalition’s report of a ballistic missile intercepted towards eastern Saudi Arabia, without independent verification. A separate official all-clear for Dammam was verified. No evidence links that alert to the interception, and late reporting on Marib and Hormuz does not establish additional incidents.

Coalition reports ballistic missile intercepted towards Eastern Province
Al-Mashhad Al-Yemeni published remarks attributed to coalition spokesman Turki Al-Maliki saying air defences intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by the Houthis towards the Eastern Province. Belqees carried the same announcement; both reports relay one party’s account, not independent verification. The texts read provided no precise location, damage details or independent evidence of the interception.

Civil Defence issues Dammam all-clear
At 01:52 UTC, Saudi Civil Defence posted an all-clear for Dammam, urging residents to keep following its instructions and avoid gathering or filming. An original warning for Buqayq had been posted at 01:47; Asharq Al-Awsat also reported all-clears for Dammam, Dhahran, Buqayq and Hofuf. We directly verified publication of the Dammam alert, not the nature of the threat, and do not link these alerts to the later interception announcement without evidence.
