Coalition claims intercepts CCTV relays September 26

Sep 26

CCTV reports the Saudi-led coalition saying it destroyed two Houthi ballistic missiles fired toward Khamis Mushait on September 26 and shot down two drones launched toward Riyadh Province that day. The brief relays the coalition’s interception claims, without independently verifying them or reporting casualties or damage.

IRINN says Houthi-led forces attacked positions in Riyadh, Khamis Mushait and Abha with missiles and drones early that morning, presenting this as retaliation for Saudi strikes in Yemen. An accompanying speaker says targets in Jeddah, Abha, Khamis Mushait, Tabuk and Yanbu were struck and distinguishes Saudi rulers from the Saudi public. The broader target list is not explicitly dated to the same morning. No independently verified casualties or damage are supplied. CCTV's September 27 brief relays the Saudi-led coalition's September 26 statement that it destroyed two Houthi ballistic missiles launched toward Khamis Mushait and shot down two drones launched toward Riyadh Province that day. This adds the coalition's interception account alongside IRINN's strike account. The sources do not establish that the claimed interceptions covered every attack IRINN described, nor do they independently verify damage or casualties.
