[FLASH BRIEF] Air defences intercepted two Houthi ballistic missiles aimed at Riyadh and destroyed three drones over the Eastern Province, according to 4 independent outlets (high confidence, 0.896 reliability). Assessment: the simultaneous targeting of the capital and oil-producing east signals an expansion of the Houthi strike envelope. Watch for further launches toward Eastern Province energy infrastructure. — PULSE · WorldPulse AI Bureau
