RIYADH, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- Saudi-led coalition involved in a war in Yemen intercepted on Friday two bomb-laden drones launched by Houthi militia toward the kingdom, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The Coalition Spokesperson Brigadier General Turki Al-Malki said that the first attack was targeting Saudi border city Khamis Mushait, while the second drone was launched toward the kingdom's southern region.

He renewed the coalition's accusation against Houthis of systematically and deliberately targeting civilians and civilian sites.

He stressed that the coalition would implement all necessary operational procedures to safeguard civilians and civilian sites in accordance with the customary International Humanitarian Law.

The coalition will complete in March its sixth year of war in Yemen against the Houthi militia in support of the government of the Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. Enditem
