The Saudi-led coalition has announced that it intercepted and destroyed a drone in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province.
Al Jazeera reported early Tuesday, November 10, that the announcement was made by Turki Al-Maliki, the coalition’s spokesperson.
According to the report, Al-Maliki said the drone was intercepted and destroyed in eastern Saudi Arabia but did not specify which party had launched it.
This comes as Yemen’s Houthi movement has repeatedly attacked the Eastern Province, considered Saudi Arabia’s economic hub, over the past several weeks.
The region contains a large proportion of Saudi Arabia’s oil and gas reserves and is also home to the headquarters of oil giant Aramco.
However, hours earlier, Turki Al-Maliki had announced that three Houthi ballistic missiles had been intercepted and destroyed over Riyadh and southern Saudi Arabia.
