The Saudi‑led Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen’s forces announced on 3 November 2026 that it had intercepted and destroyed an unmanned aerial vehicle in the eastern region of Yemen.
At 22:05 local time, the coalition’s official spokesperson, Major General Turki Al‑Malki, confirmed the interception and destruction of the UAV, noting the event occurred at 19:05 GMT.
Other reports, including one from a secondary source, suggested that a drone was intercepted over the Makkah region in western Saudi Arabia. The referenced page is currently unavailable, so the accuracy of that claim remains unconfirmed.
