LONDON: The Arab coalition intercepted and destroyed a Houthi drone targeting civilian areas in the Kingdom’s southwestern city Khamis Mushait and another targeting Jazan on Saturday.

The coalition also intercepted a ballistic missile attack targeting the capital Riyadh.

Arab coalition spokesman Col. Turki Al-Maliki said that the Houthi militia’s attempts to attack civilians and civilian areas constituted a war crime.

Al-Maliki added that the coalition takes necessary operational measures to protect civilians in accordance with international humanitarian law.

The attempted attacks came a day after the Arab coalition intercepted and destroyed two Houthi drones and a ballistic missile targeting the Kingdom on Friday.
