RIYADH: ÂÜÀòÊÓÆµ interceptedÌýdrones launched by the Houthi militia from the Yemeni capital of Sanaa toward Saudi territory on Saturday evening, according to a statement made by Arab coalition spokesman Col. Turki Al-Maliki on Saturday.

The Houthis have increasingly used drones to target southern ÂÜÀòÊÓÆµ, including two recent strikes on the Abha Airport, which killed one person and wounded more than 30.
