Anadolu reported that the Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted and destroyed a drone targeting the Eastern Province on Sunday, Nov. 15, while accounts differed on whether it was the second or third drone downed there.

Anadolu’s single-incident dispatch called it the second interception in the province. A separate Anadolu update said two drones had been downed there before another interception, and Al Jazeera reported three downed in the province on Sunday.

Anadolu’s account gave no details about casualties, injuries or damage.

In a separate X statement, coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki said air defenses intercepted two ballistic missiles launched toward Riyadh by Yemen’s Houthis, Al Jazeera reported. The outlet also said the coalition had reported two suspected Houthi drones intercepted in Riyadh and southern regions on Saturday, Nov. 14.
