Saudi-led coalition says drone intercepted over Riyadh

The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted and destroyed a drone in the kingdom's Riyadh region.
The departure follows dual rulings from the Constitutional Court and Supreme Court invalidating Gibran Rakabuming Raka's overseas academic credentials. Facing street demonstrations and an impending impeachment bid backed by 120 lawmakers, the vice president chose to step down rather than appeal the judicial decisions. The sudden vacancy tests the alliance between President Prabowo Subianto and the influential political family of former president Joko Widodo.
An official diplomatic arrival at the Elysee Palace in Paris was interrupted when a ceremonial sentry fell during reception procedures. The sudden medical issue prompted immediate intervention from both palace staff and the host head of state to secure aid for the fallen individual. The impacted personnel was subsequently evacuated from the courtyard so normal protocols could proceed.
The sudden departure leaves the government navigating an unexpected vacancy at the highest level of leadership. Parliamentary leaders must address the administrative vacuum, even as the formal motivations behind the departure remain undisclosed. Observers are awaiting procedural clarity regarding the future succession process in the coming days.
