On Saturday, the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen announced that it had intercepted an explosive-laden drone launched by Iran-backed Houthi rebels towards the kingdom, according to the Saudi state TV.
In a statement, Turki Al-Maliki, spokesman of the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen, said that Houthi militia launched the drone in a systematic and deliberate manner to target civilian objects and civilians in the southern region.
The Saudis have regularly accused the Houthis of using drones and missiles to attack Saudi Arabia.
