The Arab Coalition led by the Saudi forces intercepted and destroyed on Monday an explosive-laden drone launched by the Iran-backed Yemen’s Houthi group targeting Khamis Mushait, according to TV reports.
In a statement, the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen said that it is taking all operational measures to protect civilians from such attacks.
Monday’s attempted attack on Khamis Mushait comes a day after the Houthis fired an armed drone from inside the Yemeni territory that landed on a school in the Asir region.
