RIYADH: Coalition forces have intercepted and destroyed a number of drones launched by Yemen's Houthi terror militia toward Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Press Agency reported early Monday.

Following the latest Houthi strike, the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen said it has launched a military operation in Yemen's capital, Sanaa.

The operation is in response to the threat of drones and attempts to target civilians, the coalition added.
