DUBAI (Reuters) – A Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen said it had intercepted and destroyed an explosive drone launched towards the kingdom on Thursday.
In a statement published on Saudi state news agency SPA, a spokesman for the coalition said the Iran-aligned Houthi group in Yemen had launched the drone at civilian targets in the southern Saudi region of Khamis Mushait, near the border with Yemen.
