The Saudi-led Arab coalition said it had intercepted and destroyed an armed drone on Sunday launched by the Iran-backed terrorist Houthi militias towards southern Saudi Arabia.

The bomb-laden unmanned aerial vehicle was deliberately aimed to target “civilians and civilian objects”, coalition spokesman Colonel Turki al-Malki said in a statement carried on Saudi state media.
