Arab coalition forces shoot down Saudi-bound Houthi drone
The joint forces of the Arab coalition in support of
the legitimate government in Yemen on Thursday morning intercepted and shot
down a drone launched by the terrorist Iranian-backed Houthi militia from
Yemen's Sa'ada governorate towards the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi Press Agency, SPA, quoted the Coalition
Spokesman Colonel Turki Al Maliki as saying that "all attempts by the
Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militia to launch drones are doomed to
fail."
He explained that the Coalition follows rules of
engagement to prevent civilian casualties when responding to such threats,
adding that the "repeated attempts reflect the despair of the terrorist
militia."
Al Maliki added that by resorting to misleading
media reporting of its false successes, further confirms the magnitude of
losses the militia is suffering and the popular discontent its facing.
He concluded by stressing that the joint forces
command of the coalition continues to implement deterrent measures against the
terrorist militia to "neutralise and destroy these capabilities strictly
and in accordance with international humanitarian law.
