Yemen's Houthi forces on Wednesday launched a drone at a military airbase in the southern Saudi Arabian city of Khamis Mushait, the group's military spokesman said on Twitter.

A Saudi-led coalition battling the Iran-aligned movement said Saudi Arabian air defenses had intercepted and destroyed a drone fired towards the kingdom, state news agency SPA said earlier on Wednesday.
The military coalition intervened in Yemen in March 2015 against the Houthis after they ousted the internationally recognized government from the capital Sanaa.
The group, which holds most of northern Yemen, has kept up cross-border attacks on Saudi cities after Riyadh last month presented a ceasefire proposal by the United Nations and the United States.
