Saudi air defenses have intercepted and destroyed an explosive-laden drone launched by Yemen’s Houthi militias toward the Saudi city of Khamis Mushait, the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen said early Friday.

The Coalition said that it is taking measures to protect civilians and deal with the imminent threat.

On Thursday, the Coalition said it destroyed an explosive-laden Houthi drone in Yemeni airspace as it was heading towards Saudi Arabia.
