Saudi Air Defenses Destroy Houthi Drone

Saudi air defenses intercepted and
destroyed on Friday a drone flown by the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen,
announced the Saudi-led Arab coalition to restore legitimacy in Yemen.
Coalition spokesman Colonel Turki
al-Maliki said that the air defenses detected the drone that was flying towards
a residential area in the Saudi city of Abha.
The defenses intercepted and downed
the aircraft according to the relevant rules of engagement, he added.
Four civilians were wounded from
fallen debris and a number of vehicles were damaged, he revealed.
After inspection, the coalition
forces concluded that the drone was operated by the Houthis and manufactured by
Iran.
The alliance condemned in the
strongest terms the terrorist Houthis for targeting civilians, vowing that it
will take the necessary deterrent measures to counter their violations.
