The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said it has intercepted and destroyed a bomb-laden drone fired by Houthi rebels towards the kingdom on Friday, the third such attack within 48 hours.
A coalition statement, cited by Saudi state news agency SPA, said a drone heading towards the southwest Khamis Mushait region was shot down by its air defence.
“The Houthi militia continues to target civilians and civilian objects, and the coalition is taking operational measures to protect civilians and deal with the imminent threat,” the statement added.
The Houthis have yet to comment on the coalition’s statement.On Thursday, the US State Department said the United States is “beyond fed up” with Houthi attacks in Yemen, adding that the assaults were exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the country.
