The Saudi-led coalition says it has intercepted two Houthi drones targeting Makkah and southern regions of Saudi Arabia, according to Dawn, which logged the coalition statement on Wednesday afternoon UK time.
It is the first time today that the coalition has named Makkah as a target. Earlier on Wednesday it said Saudi air defences had destroyed three Houthi cruise missiles launched towards the Riyadh region.
Al Jazeera also reports the coalition as saying it intercepted and destroyed cruise missiles and two drones launched by the Houthis.
Neither report gives any detail of damage or casualties. The targets and the attribution to the Houthis come from the coalition and have not been independently checked.
