Coalition says it intercepted two drones in Riyadh and southern Saudi Arabia

Report describes a new Zainabiyat cohort and deployment of women to Al-Turbah
Asharq Al-Awsat quoted unnamed informed sources as saying the Houthis were preparing to graduate the Al-Zahraa 3 cohort after training around 350 women over the past two months. The sources said more than 30 recruits had been moved to Al-Turbah and surrounding areas, alongside allegations of searches, raids and pressure on women. We read the report and its original publication date but recovered no independent documentation of the numbers or movements. The development is publication of the report, not a completed graduation or movements that all occurred within this window.

Aden Al Ghad relayed information circulated by activists that family members, including women and children, were injured when a mine exploded under their vehicle in eastern Al-Jawf. The article attributes the mine to the Houthis but provides no casualty number, names, more precise location or incident time. The development is publication of the account. We recovered no medical statement or independent confirmation of the incident or responsibility and do not treat it as a verified injury toll.

Coalition reports interception and destruction of two Houthi drones
Coalition spokesperson Turki Al-Maliki said in his original post that air defences intercepted and destroyed two drones in the Riyadh and southern regions, attributing their launch to the Houthis. We read the post and its timestamp; Saba and Anadolu carried the same announcement. The statement gives no interception time or casualty and damage details. Verified publication is not independent verification of the military outcome, and older Friday interceptions are not added to this account.
