@Kuna_int and @RoyaNewsEnglish relayed a statement by the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen that a drone launched toward Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province was intercepted and destroyed; Roya attributed the statement to spokesperson Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Maliki. Neither post identifies the drone operator, interception point or incident time, or reports damage or casualties. The two posts relay the same coalition statement and are not independent confirmation.
