Security personnel quickly moved to reassure attendees and maintain order, but no evacuations were reported. The incident occurred during a busy time at the mosque, with no reports of injuries or damage.

This event follows a confirmed interception on September 11, 2025, when authorities shot down an unauthorized drone near Medina at approximately 5:40 AM.

That incident was publicly acknowledged, highlighting ongoing security concerns around the holy city. The September 25 occurrence shares similarities, but the lack of confirmation leaves open whether the threats were missiles, drones, or other objects.

Masjid an Nabawi, one of Islam’s most important sites, attracts millions of pilgrims annually located near Masjid Quba. Security measures around the mosque have been heightened in recent years due to regional tensions.

The interception systems in place are designed to protect against aerial threats, though such public displays are rare.
