The Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen said on Saturday it intercepted and destroyed two explosives-laden drones launched by Yemen’s Houthi militias towards Saudi Arabia’s southern cities of Khamis Mushait and Jazan.

The Saudi-led Arab Coalition intercepted and destroyed on Friday six armed drones fired by the Iran-backed Houthis towards Saudi Arabia.

Coalition spokesman Colonel Turki al-Malki has slammed the repeated Houthi attacks against civilians as “war crimes.”

Saudi Arabia said on Tuesday it was following the developments in Syria, expressing its “satisfaction” with the measures taken by the government to achieve security and stability, maintain civil peace, and achieve the sovereignty of the state and its institutions over all Syrian territory.

The measures will help in preserving Syria's unity and security and meeting the aspirations of the people.

The Kingdom condemned the continued blatant Israeli attacks on Syrian territory, interference in its internal affairs, and destabilization of its security and stability in flagrant violation of international law and the 1974 Disengagement Agreement between Syria and Israel.

The Kingdom renewed its call to the international community to stand by Syria, support it at this stage, and confront the ongoing Israeli attacks and violations against it.
