RIYADH: The Arab Coalition fighting to restore legitimacy in Yemen have managed to intercept and destroy an explosive-laden drone launched by the Houthi militias towards Saudi Arabia.

Coalition spokesman Colonel Turki Al-Maliki said the drone was launched by the terrorist militia in a systematic and deliberate manner to target civilians in the southern region.
