Arab Coalition Intercepts 2 Houthi Drones Flown towards Saudi Arabia
The Saudi-led Arab coalition intercepted and downed
on Thursday morning two drones launched by the Iran-backed Houthi militias
towards Saudi Arabia.
Coalition spokesman Colonel Turki al-Maliki said the
drones were fired from Yemen’s Amran region towards Saudi Arabia’s Khamis
Mushait.
He stressed that all Houthi attempts to attack the
Kingdom are doomed to fail, saying the coalition has taken all necessary
measures, in line with the best rules of engagement, to deal with these threats
and protect civilians.
The repeated attempted attacks reflect the state of
despair among the Houthis and underscore their losses on the ground as they
wage a losing battle in Yemen, he charged.
Maliki vowed that the coalition will continue to
deter the Houthi actions to neutralize and destroy their abilities in line with
international humanitarian law.
