RIYADH — The Arab Coalition supporting the legitimate government in Yemen said on Thursday that its forces intercepted and downed a Houthi drone that was targeting the Saudi city of Jazan.

Turki Al-Maliki, the spokesman of the Saudi-led coalition, said that the continued attempts by Iran-backed Houthi militia to launch drones do reflect the terrorist militia's unethical approach using drones against civilian people and civilian targets.

Al-Maliki stressed that the coalition forces have been taking deterrent measures against the militia in order to neutralize and destroy its capabilities in accordance with international humanitarian laws. — SPA
