RIYADH: The Arab coalition destroyed a Houthi drone launched from Yemen's Amran province towards Saudi Arabia, state news agency SPA reported on Tuesday.
Coalition forces intercepted the drone while it was still in Yemen’s airspace.
A second drone also launched from Amran on Tuesday evening was intercepted by coalition forces. The device was headed for Khamis Mushayt, according to the coalition.
Arab coalition spokesman Col. Turki Al-Maliki said the militia’s continued attempted attacks would end in failure.
Al-Maliki says that the coalition uses the best measures on operational matters to intercept Houthi attacks and protect civilians.
Al-Maliki pointed out that the recent repeated militant attempts by the Houthis are the result of significant losses among its elements and equipment.
