Arab Coalition Thwarts Houthi Attempt to Target Saudi Arabia with Drone
The Coalition for Supporting
Legitimacy in Yemen said on Sunday that it has intercepted and downed a drone
launched by the Houthi militias from Yemen's Sanaa province towards the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia.
Coalition Spokesman Colonel Turki
al-Maliki explained that all attempts by the Iran-backed terrorists to launch
drones are doomed to fail, saying the coalition takes all operational procedures
and best practices of rules of engagement to deal with them.
He reiterated that the command of
the coalition joint forces continues to implement deterrent measures against
the insurgents to destroy their capabilities in line with international
humanitarian law.
Maliki said that the repeated
attempts of the Houthis to target Saudi Arabia is a sign of despair.
In another statement, the spokesman
said that the militias launched on Saturday two ballistic missiles from Amran
Governorate’s Harf Sufyan Directorate.
The missiles fell inside Yemeni
territory in the Hiran Directorate of Hajja province.
Maliki accused the militias of
violating international humanitarian law by firing ballistic missiles, which
indiscriminately fall on civilian areas in a direct threat to the lives of
dozens of civilians.
