Coalition spokesman Brigadier General Turki al-Malki affirmed that the Saudi air defenses shot down on Saturday three armed drones fired by the terrorist Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen towards the Kingdom, noting that scattered shrapnel injured two Saudi children and caused damage to 14 houses.
"Houthi attempts to target civilians and civilian objects is not only hostile and barbaric, but also "incompatible with heavenly values and humanitarian principles," Al-Maliki said.
He explained that the Saudi defenses intercepted the attacks at 21:32 on Saturday evening. He stated that the Houthis launched the attacks from Sanaa.
Al-Maliki added that the interception operation caused shrapnel to scatter over the neighborhood in Dammam, which resulted in the injury of a Saudi boy and girl, and damaged 14 residential houses.
He stressed that the Ministry of Defense will take necessary measures to protect its territory and stop hostile and cross-border attacks.
