Seventeen Houthi drones were shot by the Yemeni Rebellious against the Kingdom by Saudi Arabia's air defense personnel on Saturday.
The Coalition stated two additional drones had been shot in Khamis Mushait, while 8 drones had been fired in various places south of the country, including the Najran area, State TV said.
All the drones were dropped by defense troops.
During the more than six-year war in Yemen, Khamis Mushait was targeted frequently by Iran-backed Houthis.
In virtually day-to-day attacks, Yemen's rebels target Saudi cities, wound numerous civilians, and damaged homes, shops and cars.
The Houthis struck a Saudi school with a bomb-loaded drone in the Asir province last week. Although the roof was not damaged, the photographs posted by the Saudi Press Agency demonstrated severe damage.
The UAE reported the strikes on Saudi Arabia on Saturday evening, "and the efforts of the Iran-sponsored Houthi terrorist militia to systematically and deliberately target citizens and civilian objects in Khamis Mashait."
"The safety of the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is indivisible and any threat to the Kingdom is regarded as a threat to security and stability of the United Arab Emirates," stated the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Last Monday, the coalition delayed its military operations in Yemen to support the peace initiative – for the second time since the epidemic last year, the Saudi forces stopped their onslaught.
Cooperation in the Gulf By pressing the Houthis to cooperate with the Saudi peace initiative for Yemen, Council States supported this endeavor.
UN envoy Martin Griffiths again tried to develop momentum for peace talks in the region and to meet interlocutors. He painted a dreadful picture last week of the prospects of stopping the struggle.
Mr. Griffiths claimed he did not bridge the gap between the internationally recognized government and the Houthi rebellions during an address to the UN Security Council last Tuesday.
In March 2015, a military coalition led by Riyadh took over the capital, Sanaa, and imprisoned officials of the administration at the request of the government after the Houthis took control of it.
