DUBAI: The Arab Coalition announced on Saturday the successful interception and destruction of a drone launched by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.

In a statement, the coalition confirmed the Houthi militia’s escalating attempts to target the Kingdom and its civilians in the last week.

The rebels’ attempt to launch an attack on Khamis Mushait on Saturday is the third since Wednesday, drawing international condemnation.
