  "summary": "The Saudi-led coalition intercepted two Houthi ballistic missiles launched toward Riyadh and three drones in the kingdom’s Eastern Province, according to reports from Al-Monitor, Investing.com, and Ajel English. Middle East Eye reports that coalition spokesman Colonel Turki al-Malki confirmed the interception of the two missiles and noted that three drones had been shot down over the Eastern Region within a three-hour period.\n\nHouthi military spokesman Yahya Saree stated on X that the group shot down a Saudi Arabian armed reconnaissance aircraft in the airspace of al-Jawf, claiming this is the fifth such aircraft downed since the escalation began. Middle East Eye also reports that these actions occur as the Houthis have intensified attacks on the Saudi capital and the Eastern Province, which houses the majority of the kingdom's oil and gas reserves.",
