A missile launched by the Houthis toward Riyadh was intercepted by the Saudi-led coalition, according to 中国网. The Chinese state outlet reported the interception on Sunday, 25 October 2026.
The report did not specify where the interception took place, what type of missile was involved, or whether there were any casualties or damage. It also gave no details on how the coalition detected or responded to the launch.
The Houthis are the Yemeni armed movement that has been in conflict with a Saudi-led coalition for years. Sunday's report is the latest in a long series of launches toward Saudi territory that the coalition says it has intercepted.
中国网's account was limited to the interception itself and did not address the wider state of the conflict or any diplomatic efforts. No independent confirmation or additional detail was available in the material reviewed.
Watch for follow-up statements from the coalition or the Houthis that may clarify the missile's target, the location of the interception and any damage on the ground.
