Coalition spokesman Brig. Gen. Turki al-Maliki said on 2 November that 'two drones [were] intercepted and destroyed in the Riyadh region', without naming the launcher or reporting damage. The same day Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree claimed that over the previous 48 hours Houthi forces hit Dammam airport with two drones, disrupting air traffic, scored a direct drone hit on an early-warning radar in Jazan and targeted a military transport aircraft at Jazan airport. The Houthi hit claims are not independently confirmed and Saudi Arabia has acknowledged no damage.
