Saudi-led coalition intercepts three drones in Mecca and Medina regions

RIYADH: The Saudi-led coalition intercepted three drones that were launched toward the regions of Saudi Arabia’s two holy cities, the coalition spokesperson said on Sunday.

Maj. Gen. Turki al-Malki said in a post on X that the coalition had “intercepted and destroyed two drones in the Mecca region that were launched by the terrorist Houthi militia.”

In a separate post a few hours later, al-Malki said that another “drone was intercepted and destroyed in the Medina region.”
