A Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted and destroyed two drones launched by the Houthi group in Riyadh and southern Saudi Arabia on Saturday, according to Anadolu Agency.

Coalition spokesperson Turki al-Maliki said in a statement on “X” that the drones had been intercepted and destroyed. The statement did not say whether the incident caused any casualties or damage.

The incident comes amid escalating tensions between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia. The coalition has reported repeated interceptions of missiles and drones targeting the kingdom.

Yemen has been in conflict since the Houthis seized Sanaa and other provinces in 2014. A Saudi-led coalition intervened in support of the government in 2015.
