The Saudi-led coalition involved in a war in Yemen intercepted on Friday four bomb-laden drones launched by Houthi rebels, Trend reports citing Xinhua.

The coalition spokesperson Turki Al Maliki said in a statement on the Saudi Press Agency that the drones were targeting Saudi Arabia and three of them were destroyed in Yemen.

He said that the coalition forces are capable of tackling Houthi militia's threats to protect civilians as per international law.
