On Friday, the coalition said it destroyed two drones flying toward the kingdom's southern region and border city Najran.

On Thursday, the coalition announced the destruction of a missile fired by the Houthis toward Najran.

Yemen has been mired in civil war since late 2014, when the Iran-backed Houthi group seized control of much of the country's north and forced the Saudi-backed government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi out of the capital Sanaa.

The Saudi-led coalition intervened in the Yemeni conflict in 2015 to support Hadi's government.
