Sharing the video showing “the flying object accompanied by loud bang”, some media outlets have said “Saudi Arabia intercepted missile flown at close proximity to Masjid an Nabawi in Madinah”.
It is also speculated in the media that the intercepted missile was a Yemeni missile heading towards Israel.
However, except the Inside Haramain statement cited above, there is no official denial or confirmation by the Saudi authorities.
The explosion near Masjid Nabawi has been reported amidst the rising tension in the Middle East, especially after the Israeli airstrikes in Doha, Qatar on September 09, 2025.
