RIYADH: The Arab coalition intercepted and destroyed a booby-trapped Houthi drone launched toward Saudi Arabia's southwestern city of Jazan on Thursday.

The militia also targeted Jazan’s King Abdulaziz Airport last Friday but the attack was intercepted. 

Falling debris from two destroyed unmanned aerial vehicles caused minor injuries to ten people.

Britain’s Permanent Representative to the UN condemned Friday’s “unjustifiable” attack at a Security Council briefing on Thursday.
