Saudi Arabian air defences on Saturday destroyed an armed drone launched by Yemen's Houthi movement towards Khamis Mushait in the south of the kingdom, state television cited a Saudi-led coalition as saying.
The Houthi military spokesman said on Twitter that the drone was launched at a military base in Khamis Mushait.
The Iran-aligned movement has frequently targeted Khamis Mushait and other Saudi cities along the border in the more than six-year war.
A military coalition led by Riyadh intervened in Yemen in March 2015 after the Houthis ousted the Saudi-backed, internationally recognised government from the capital Sanaa.
