Saudi-led coalition dismisses ‘misleading’ Houthi claim of Riyadh attack

The Saudi-led coalition has officially dismissed claims made by Houthi forces regarding an alleged attack on Riyadh. A coalition spokesman characterized the reports as misleading, asserting that the group is fabricating the incident to distract from recent military setbacks and rising domestic discontent within Yemen.

The coalition’s statement, which was reported via Asharq Al-Awsat, emphasizes that the Houthi narrative is a strategic attempt to shift public focus away from the group's current losses and internal pressures. No evidence of an attack on the Saudi capital has been corroborated by the coalition.
