DUBAI - A spokesman for Yemen’s Houthis said on Thursday the group had attacked important targets in the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh using four drones.

There was no confirmation from the Saudi authorities.

The Iran-aligned Houthis have rejected a ceasefire proposal made last month by Riyadh because it did not include lifting an air and sea blockade imposed by a Saudi-led military coalition on the territories they control mainly in northern Yemen.

The conflict has caused what the United Nations says is the world’s largest humanitarian crisis.
