Saudi coalition intercepts Houthi drones as cross-border attacks continue
Yemen's Houthi rebels said they launched attack drones and missiles at targets throughout Saudi Arabia today.
The Saudi military and Houthi forces in Yemen clashed between Thursday night and Friday morning as the cross-border conflict continues to escalate.
The Houthi forces, also known as Ansar Allah, launched several attack drones equipped with bombs toward the southwest city of Jazan on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast on Thursday night. The Saudi air force intercepted and destroyed the unmanned aerial vehicles. The attack targeted oil facilities in the area, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The Houthi-affiliated Almasirah Media Network reported that Houthi forces launched multiple drones and missiles toward Jazan, Dammam on the east coast and other areas Friday morning. The outlet did not report any damage caused by the strikes, but said the operation “successfully achieved all its objectives.”
There have been several Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia this month, with Riyadh in turn striking Houthi positions in the country.
