A Houthi spokesman announced the attack, tweeting on Monday that “It is part of our legitimate right to respond to the crimes of the aggression and its continuing blockade.”
The Saudi-led coalition said on Sunday that it intercepted and destroyed a drone launched by the Houthis in Yemen that it said was meant to target civilians in Khamis Mushait.
