Riyadh:The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen announced that its forces intercepted and destroyed four drones over the regions of Riyadh, Eastern, and Southern Saudi Arabia.

According to Anadolu Agency – English, coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki stated on the social media platform X that the drones were intercepted and destroyed over the past few hours.

The conflict in Yemen began in 2014 when the Houthis took control of the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and several other provinces. This led to the intervention of the Saudi-led coalition in 2015 to support the internationally recognized Yemeni government. Recently, fighting has intensified, spilling over into Saudi Arabia, with the Houthis targeting energy and aviation sites, including airports.
