Within 48 hours, Saudi-led alliance intercepts, destroys third bomb-laden drone fired by Houthi rebels
The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen Friday said it has interrupted and shattered a bomb-laden drone fired by Houthi rebels towards the kingdom.

After the third such attack within 48 hours, a coalition statement, mentioned by a Saudi state news agency, said a drone heading towards the southwest Khamis Mushait region was shot down by its air defence.
“The Houthi militia continues to target civilians and civilian objects and the coalition is taking operational measures to protect civilians and deal with the imminent threat,” the statement read.
the US State Department on Thursday said the United States is “beyond fed up” with Houthi attacks in Yemen, adding that the assaults were intensifying the humanitarian catastrophe in the country.
The comments came after the Houthis fired two missiles at Yemen’s government-held city of Marib, killing at least three people, including a child.
In recent weeks, the Saudi-led coalition announced it interrupted dozens of drones fired by Houthi rebels towards the Kingdom’s lands.
According to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights spokesperson, Houthi rebels have propelled 128 drone attacks and 31 ballistic missile attacks on Saudi Arabia since the beginning of 2021.
The Iran-aligned group says the drone attacks are in response to the Saudi-led coalition’s attack on Yemen.
