DUBAI - The Saudi-led coalition on Monday destroyed two explosive-laden drones launched by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi group in the direction of Saudi Arabia, Saudi state TV said.

The Houthis did not confirm the two incidents reported by the Saudi TV channel, which cited a coalition spokesman.

Yemen has been locked in conflict since 2014, when the Houthis seized Sanaa, the capital, and then much of the country's north.
