Saudi-led coalition in Yemen destroys explosive-laden boat in south of the Red Sea - SPA

The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen intercepted and destroyed on Sunday a remotely controlled explosive-laden boat in the south of the Red Sea, state news agency (SPA) reported.

The boat was launched by Iran-aligned Houthis from Yemen’s port city of Hodeidah, coalition spokesman Colonel Turki al-Malki said, according to SPA.

The coalition’s spokesman said the explosive-laden boat posed a threat on international maritime activities and “international navigation,” according to SPA.

Earlier on Sunday, the Coalition intercepted and destroyed a drone targeting Saudi Arabia’s Abha International Airport. No damages were reported.
