Saudi-led coalition says it intercepts Houthi drone

Saudi-led coalition says it destroyed an explosive drone fired towards Khamis Mushait near Abha International Airport.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels in Yemen said on Tuesday it had destroyed an explosive drone fired towards Khamis Mushait in the south of Saudi Arabia. A military spokesman for the Houthi movement then said they had fired a drone at and hit Abha International Airport, which is near Khamis Mushait, according to a report by the Houthi-run Al Masirah TV. There was no Saudi confirmation of a hit on Abha and the Houthi report could not be independently verified.
