The Saudi-led coalition supporting Yemen's internationally recognized government said Friday that it had intercepted and destroyed a drone in the region of the Saudi capital Riyadh.

The announcement came amid continued military escalation between the Saudi-led coalition and Yemen's Houthi group, which has launched repeated missile and drone attacks toward Saudi territory.
