RIYADH: The UAE and Bahrain have condemned the Houthi militia over the latest drone attack on Saudi Arabia launched from Yemen.

The Kingdom’s air defenses intercepted and destroyed an explosive-laden drone launched toward Khamis Mushayt on Saturday.

The UAE’s foreign ministry said the attacks were a blatant violation and disregard for international law.
