The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen says it intercepted two drones launched by the Houthis toward its Makkah region.
Coalition spokesman Major-General Turki al-Maliki announced the shootdown in a statement on X without giving details about possible casualties or damage.
There was no immediate Houthi comment on the statement. The group has previously denied targeting the Makkah region.
The coalition has intercepted an increasing amount of drone-and-ballistic missile attacks launched by the Iran-backed Houthis towards Saudi Arabia over recent days. –Agencies
