Saudi Arabia: Arab coalition intercepts Houthi drone launched towards Khamis Mushait

Riyadh - The coalition said they continue to take precautions to protect civilians as the militia continue to target them.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting the Houthis in Yemen on Friday said it intercepted and destroyed an explosive-laden drone launched by the Iran-aligned group towards the city of Khamis Mushait, Saudi state TV Al-Ekhbariya reported.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said in a tweet early on Saturday that an operation targeted Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait with two explosives-laden drones, and the hit was accurate.
