Saudi air defenses intercept Houthi drone near Mecca
The Saudi-led coalition said that Saudi air defenses intercepted and destroyed a drone launched by Yemen’s Houthi group near Mecca, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
Major General Turki Al-Malki, spokesperson for the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen, stated that the act was a red line and the Coalition will act against Houthis.
The move came a day after the coalition said 13 civilians were injured in missile and drone attacks by the Houthis on Khamis Mushait, Abha and Taif, with seven homes and two vehicles damaged.
