Saudi-led coalition says intercepted drone in Mecca region
The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Houthis said it had intercepted a drone in the region of Mecca, Islam's holiest city, following repeated waves of attacks by the pro-Iran militants on the kingdom.
"Interception and destruction of a drone in the Mecca region," Turki al-Malki, the coalition's spokesman wrote on social media, without elaborating on the source of the attack.
The Houthis said on Tuesday that Saudi strikes had killed 17 civilians over two days this week.
