Saudi military spokesman Maj. Gen. Turki al-Maliki stated that another drone launched from Yemen was intercepted and destroyed over an unspecified area in southern Saudi Arabia. He described it as "the interception and destruction of a drone launched by the terrorist Houthi militia toward the southern region." There has been no immediate response from the Houthi movement. Earlier on Monday, the coalition reported intercepting and destroying a ballistic missile and two drones launched by the Houthi forces toward Saudi territory. This latest interception comes amid an escalation in attacks. Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia has been leading a military coalition against the Houthi movement, following the Houthis' seizure of the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and other parts of the country in 2014.
