RIYADH, June 11 (Xinhua) -- Saudi air forces have intercepted two drones launched by Houthis toward border city Khamis Mushait, Saudi Press Agency reported on Tuesday.

The spokesperson of Saudi-led coalition involved in a war in Yemen, Turki Al Maliki, said in a statement that the two drones were destroyed by the forces before reaching their target.

He also stressed the rights of the coalition to respond to Houthis' failing attempts to target civilian sites in Saudi Arabia, as per the international law.

Saudi Arabia has been witnessing more Houthis' drone attack attempts in recent weeks that mainly target border cities. Last month, the Saudi air forces foiled an attempt to attack Jizan airport with a bomb-laden drone.
