Arab Coalition intercepts a drone launched from Yemen‏

The Arab coalition said it had intercepted a Houthi drone targeting Saudi Arabia’s Jazan region, Al Arabiya TV reported Thursday.

The coalition, which is fighting to restore the legitimacy of the internationally recognized government in Yemen, said it will take all measures to protect civilians in accordance with international law.

This is the first cross-border attack reported by the coalition since a lull observed for the Muslim Eid al Fitr holiday on May 13.
