An “imminent terrorist attack” has been foiled by the Arab coalition of the Iran-aligned Houthi militia in the southern Red Sea.

The coalition said its forces destroyed a remotely-controlled explosive-laden Houthi boat near Yemen’s port district of As-Salif.

The Saudi Press Agency on Sunday reported that a projectile missile launched by the Houthis landed in a village in Saudi Arabia’s Jizan.
The Houthis have in recent weeks increased aerial attacks towards civilian areas in the Kingdom, mainly through explosive-laden drones, Al Arabiya in a report said.


The Arab Coalition has succeeded in intercepting and destroying most of them.
On September 26, the Arab Coalition said that it destroyed an air defense system that belonged to the Houthis in Yemen’s Sanaa.
