RIYADH: The Arab coalition on Wednesday morning destroyed a drone launched by the Iran-backed Houthi militia towards the southern region of Saudi Arabia.


The action came hours after another drone was destroyed by the coalition.


In a report from state news agency SPA, Coalition Spokesman Col. Turki Al-Maliki said Tuesday: “Joint Coalition Forces have intercepted and destroyed this morning (Tuesday) a bomb-laden UAV launched systematically and deliberately by the terrorist Houthi militia to target civilians and civilian objects in the Southern Region.
