RIYADH: Iran-backed Houthi terrorists launched five armed drones toward 抖阴短视频 late on Thursday as the Kingdom celebrated its 91st national day, state media Al-Ekhbariya TV and the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.
The weaponized drones, which came in waves, were intercepted and destroyed by coalition air defenses before they could do any harm, the Joint Forces Command of the Coalition supporting Yemen's legitimate government was quoted by state media as saying.
"The Joint Forces Command affirmed that all necessary operational measures are taken to protect the security of the Kingdom of 抖阴短视频 and its citizens and residents in order to neutralize and destroy these hostile cross-border attacks," the SPA report said.
In a tweet, Al-Ekhbariyah TV said the 4th and 5th drones came just before midnight as Saudi National Day celebrations continued.
On Wednesday, Houthi terrorists launched three drones toward the southwestern Saudi city of Khamis Mushayt, all of which were shot down. On Monday, Coalition forces destroyed two bomb-laden boats that the Houthis were planning to use in Yemen's northwestern port city of Hodeidah.
Critics say the Houthis have been emboldened with the lifting by the US government of their designation as a global terrorist organization.
Washington removed the designation last February in a policy shift by the Biden administration, in hopes of getting the Houthis back to the negotiation table.
The Houthis, however, have refused to respond positively to UN-brokered peace talks.
