RIYADH, April 9 (Xinhua) -- The Saudi-led coalition involved in a war in Yemen intercepted Friday a bomb-laden drone launched by Houthis towards border city Khamis Mushait, Al Ekhbariya local TV reported.

The coalition accused the militia of "committing war crimes by targeting civilians and civilian sites."

Khamis Mushait is among the cities in southwestern Saudi Arabia that are frequently targeted by Houthis with drones and missiles.

The Houthi attacks increased after the announcement of the kingdom's initiative on March 22 to end the Yemeni crisis. The initiative includes a comprehensive cease-fire across Yemen under the supervision of the United Nations.

The coalition completed last month its sixth year of war in Yemen against the Houthi militia in support of the Yemeni government. Enditem
