RIYADH: Coalition forces supporting Yemen’s legitimate government thwarted another wave of Houthi drone attacks targeting Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, two days after foiling a boat-bomb attack in Hodeidah.
In a statement, the coalition said Saudi air defenses intercepted and destroyed three explosive-laden drones launched by Houthis militia toward the Kingdom’s southern city of Khamis Mushait.
One of the drones was launched in the morning and the two were launched later in the day.
In Yemen, the coalition released footage of it targeting and destroying two boats belonging to the Houthi militia in the Salif area in Hodeidah.
The coalition said the two boats were destroyed on Monday, after confirming that the Iran-backed terrorist group was planning to disrupt maritime navigation using bomb-laden boats.
The coalition added that it is monitoring the Houthis’ drone activity and is taking strict measures to protect civilians.
The UAE and Bahrain strongly condemned the attacks and affirmed their solidarity with the Kingdom in all measures it takes to protect its security and the safety of its citizens and residents.
