RIYADH: Coalition forces fighting the Iranian-backed Houthi militia in Yemen said a drone launched on Friday from Amran was intercepted.

The Houthis, who control Sana’a, have stepped up attacks against targets in º£½ÇÖ±²¥ in recent months. In response, the coalition has targeted military sites belonging to the group, especially around Sana’a.
