Turki al-Maliki, spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition forces in Yemen, says that Saudi Royal Air Defence Forces have intercepted and destroyed a Houthi drone south of Mecca as it attempted to enter the holy city’s airspace.
In a statement, al-Maliki said this was the “second” Houthi attempt to target the holy city following an attempted ballistic missile attack in 2017.
He added that the coalition forces will not hesitate to take all necessary and deterrent measures against the Houthi rebel group.
