Arab coalition intercepts Houthi drone launched toward Saudi Arabia

  • The Houthi drone was targeting the southern city of Khamis Mushait

RIYADH: The Arab coalition said on Tuesday it intercepted a “booby-trapped” drone launched by the Houthi militia toward Saudi Arabia’s southern region, state TV reported. 
Coalition forces managed to intercept and destroy the drone which was targeting the city of Khamis Mushait.
The coalition said attempts by the Iran-backed Houthis to target civilians and populated areas constituted war crimes, adding it is taking operational measures to protect civilians in accordance with international humanitarian law.
