RIYADH —The Arab Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen said on Monday that it intercepted several drones laden with explosives launched by the Iran-backed Houthi militia targeting Saudi Arabia. In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency, Arab Coalition spokesperson Turki Al-Maliki said: “The terrorist, Iran-backed Houthi militia launched this evening, Monday, a number of bomb-laden UAVs toward civilians and civilian objects in the Kingdom.” “The Joint Coalition forces have intercepted a number of them, and the rest are under constant monitoring,” Al-Maliki added. Earlier in the day, the Arab Coalition welcomed the request made by the government of Yemen and the Southern Transitional Council for a comprehensive ceasefire, de-escalation and a meeting to be convened in the Kingdom to move forward in implementing the Riyadh Agreement, in addition to the return of the political and military committees and teams in order to promptly implement it.
