RIYADH: Saudi air defenses intercepted and destroyed a weaponized drone launched from Yemen toward the southern part of the Kingdom, a spokesman for the Arab coalition supporting Yemens legitimate government said on Saturday. In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), Col. Turki Al-Maliki said the drone was shot down early Saturday, but gave no further details. Yemens Iran-backed Houthi "terrorists" have been launching missile, drone and rocket strikes targeting civilian centers in Saudi Arabia for the past few years.
