Coalition reports intercepting two cruise missiles in Riyadh and the southern region
In an original post timestamped 06:03:39 UTC, the coalition’s official spokesperson said two cruise missiles had been intercepted and destroyed in Riyadh and the southern region. Media outlets carried the same statement. The post gave no launch time, precise interception location, or damage and injury figures. The result remains the coalition’s account without independent verification and is separate from the announcement about two ballistic missiles toward Riyadh issued before this window.
