The Arab Coalition Forces intercepted and shot down two drones, launched by the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist militia from Yemen's Amran province, towards Khamis Mushait city in Saudi Arabia on Thursday morning, the Coalition spokesman Colonel Turki Al Maliki said.

All attempts by the Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militia to launch drones are doomed to fail and the coalition takes all operational procedures and best practices of rules of engagement to deal with these aircraft to protect civilians," Colonel Al Malki was quoted by Saudi Press Agency, SPA, as saying.

He stressed that the command of the joint forces of the coalition will take all actions to strike the terrorist, hostile military structure of the Houthi militia, in accordance with international humanitarian law and its customary rules.
