Saudi Arabia’s coalition said it destroyed two drones in separate incidents Thursday, attributing the Riyadh Region launch to Yemen’s Houthi militia while leaving the Eastern Region launch source unidentified.

The Riyadh notice cited coalition spokesman Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Malki and assigned responsibility for that launch to the Houthi militia, according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

SPA’s separate Eastern Region bulletin said a UAV was intercepted and destroyed there. It did not identify who launched it.
