RIYADH: The Arab coalition intercepted and destroyed on Saturday a booby-trapped Houthi drone targeting the Saudi city of Khamis Mushait.

The militia’s attacks deliberately target civilians and civilian objects, the coalition said.

The coalition is taking strict measures to protect civilians, it added.

The militia also targeted the port of Mocha in Yemen with missiles and bomb-laden drones on Saturday.

The attacks come a day after the newly appointed UN special envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg told the Security Council that the Houthi offensive on Marib must stop.

“Civilians, including the many internally displaced persons who sought refuge in Marib, live in constant fear of violence and renewed displacement,” the official said.

“The UN and the international community has been clear in its message: The offensive must stop,” Grundberg said.
