ISTANBUL, Sept 26 — Saudi air defences intercepted two drones launched early Saturday by Yemen’s Houthis towards the Riyadh region, Anadolu Ajansi reported.
Turki al-Maliki, spokesman of the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said Saudi forces were monitoring missile and drone threats directed towards the kingdom.
He said the drones launched towards the Riyadh region were intercepted and destroyed by air defences.
The Houthis have been engaged in renewed fighting with Saudi-backed government forces since Yemen’s civil war reignited in July, when the group declared a maritime blockade on Riyadh.
