Neutral summary
The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Houthis said it intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched toward Riyadh, spokesman Turki al-Malki said on X. Two explosions were heard in Riyadh in the early hours, an AFP journalist reported, and residents received alerts on their phones. Saudi civil defence said an early warning system was activated. The coalition also said a drone was intercepted in the Eastern Province, and that two drones were intercepted in the southern region. The Houthis have escalated attacks on Saudi Arabia this month, including a strike on Riyadh airport that killed 13 people on 10 October, according to Al Jazeera Arabic. Tehran denied involvement in the Houthi attacks, after Saudi Arabia accused Iran of encouraging the escalation. Jugantor reported that Saudi civil defence said missile debris fell in Mecca and Medina regions, and that the Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree called the claim a lie. The National reported that Riyadh airport will reopen two terminals from Sunday.
Where accounts differ. Jugantor reports Saudi civil defence claimed two missiles aimed at Mecca and Medina were intercepted, which the Houthis denied, while other outlets report only the Riyadh-directed missile and do not mention this claim.

About this method
Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.
What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.
Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
