The Saudi-led coalition said Sunday it had intercepted and destroyed three drones launched towards the regions of Mecca and Medina, home to Islam’s two holiest cities.
Coalition spokesman Major General Turki al-Malki said two drones launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebels were intercepted in the Mecca region, Al Arabiya reported.
In a separate statement hours later, Malki said another drone had been intercepted and destroyed in the Medina region.
