Three drones were intercepted over Yemeni territory controlled by the Houthis, while another one was destroyed in Saudi airspace, official SPA news agency cited coalition spokesman Colonel Turki Al-Malki as saying.
He condemned the Houthi movement's repeated attempts to target Saudi Arabia with drones and ballistic missiles as a "flagrant violation of international law."


He went on to emphasize that the coalition would stand firmly and decisively against such transgressions, in line with established humanitarian laws and conventions.(KUNA)
