The Saudi-led Arab coalition announced on Wednesday
the downing of a drone flown by the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen
towards Saudi Arabia’s city of Jazan.
Coalition spokesman Colonel Turki al-Maliki said the
aircraft was flown from Sanaa towards civilian infrastructure in Jazan.
He condemned the terrorist act, saying it coincided
with United Nations envoy Martin Griffiths’ visit to Sanaa.
The Houthis are persistent in attempting to target
civilian infrastructure, “proving their criminality and extremist ideology
against the Yemeni people and neighboring countries,” he added.
The coalition will take “necessary measures to
target the Houthis’ hostile terrorist military infrastructure,” Maliki vowed.
