Saudi forces destroy 2 UAVs, missile targeting kingdom

A Saudi-led coalition, fighting Iran-aligned Al Houthi rebels, said it had destroyed two bomb-laden unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and a ballistic missile fired in the direction of the kingdom in two separate incidents.

The coalition’s spokesman Col Turki Al Malki said the coalition forces Sunday morning intercepted and destroyed an explosive UAV in the Yemeni airspace launched by Al Houthis in the direction of the kingdom, the Saudi news agency SPA reported.

Al Maliki said Saturday night that the coalition forces had intercepted and destroyed a bomb-laden UAV and a ballistic missile fired by “Iran-supported terrorist Al Houthi militia” in the direction of the kingdom. He did not give further details.
