Riyadh, Jan 6: The Saudi Arabian air defenses intercepted and destroyed a drone launched towards the Kingdom early Thursday, January 6, the Arab coalition in Yemen reported.
In a statement the coalition said it will take immediate action to neutralize and destroy the threat to protect civilians.
The Iran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen had repeatedly launched ballistic missiles and armed drones toward civilian centers in Saudi Arabia since 2015 after the Kingdom and several Arab nations organized a coalition to help restore Yemen's legitimate government.
