Arab coalition destroys armed drone fired by Houthis toward Saudi Arabia

The Arab coalition destroyed an armed Houthi drone targeting Saudi Arabia in Yemen's airspace, Al-Ekhbariya reported on Saturday.

The coalition said it was committed to destroying specific capabilities in accordance with international humanitarian law.

 Last Saturday, Saudi air defenses thwarted an attack on Riyadh by the Iran-backed militia in Yemen. The Arab coalition said it had “intercepted and destroyed a hostile air target going toward” the capital.

The attempted attack was condemned by the international community including Britain, France and Germany.
