Arab coalition destroys Houthi drone launched toward Saudi Arabia’s Khamis Mushait

RIYADH: The Arab coalition intercepted and destroyed a booby-trapped drone launched by the Houthi militia toward Khamis Mushait, Saudi Arabia on Saturday. 

All futile attempts to target civilians have been confronted and thwarted, the coalition said. 

The coalition said on Friday that it had thwarted a Houthi drone attack on a Saudi commercial ship.

The Houthis continue to threaten global shipping lines, the coalition said after the attack.

The general secretary of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers and the Bahraini foreign ministry condemned the attack on the ship.
