The Saudi-led coalition intercepted and destroyed a drone launched by Yemen’s Houthis in the Mecca region, the coalition said in a statement on Friday.
The incident is the latest in a series of cross-border attacks by the Iran-aligned Houthis on Saudi Arabia, involving drones and missiles targeting airports and energy infrastructure.
Houthis denied launching any attack towards Saudi Arabia on Friday.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree dismissed the coalition’s account as false in a post on X, saying the group had not carried out any operation towards Saudi territory. He said its operations target Saudi oil facilities and military bases.
