The Saudi-led Arab coalition destroyed on Friday two booby-trapped drones that were fired by the Iran-backed Houthi militias towards Saudi Arabia.

Coalition spokesman Colonel Turki al-Malki said the aircraft were launched by the Houthis towards southern Saudi Arabia and Najran city.

He accused the militias of deliberately firing the drones at civilian targets.

Organization of Islamic Cooperation chief Yousef bin Ahmad Al-Othaimeen condemned the Houthis for their ongoing attacks against the Kingdom.

He also slammed the sides that are supporting them with money and weapons to commit their terrorist crimes.
