Reports of the killing of Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman UPDATE: RUMINT? 48 Hour Rule
2026-10-24


Translated Text:

Reports of the killing of Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman following the targeting of the Saudi Ministry of Defense building in Riyadh with a number of Houthi missiles
Note: a quick internet search reveals no articles on the story, nor does his Wikipedia page mention his demise, suggesting he was not killed after all. 48 Hour Rule.
The latest attack on the Saudi Ministry of Defense building was not an ordinary attack but, according to what is circulating, carries behind it a major catastrophe that, if true, will be the cause of turning things upside down.

There are media-circulated reports within the American interior that Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman was present inside the Ministry of Defense headquarters at the moment of the attack, and there are also unconfirmed reports of his death.

And there are leaks from inside the Royal Court about the killing of the Chief of the Saudi General Staff, First Lieutenant General Fayyad bin Hamed Al-Ruwaili, and with him a large group of leaderships that were targeted today inside the Saudi Ministry of Defense headquarters.
Ditto nothing and nothing for the good LtGen. So we’ll see.
And it was mentioned that the targeting was carried out with a large number of drones and four ballistic missiles.
