沙特领导的也门联军周四表示，已在沙特阿拉伯东部省份拦截并摧毁一架无人机。
The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said Thursday that it had intercepted and destroyed a drone over Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province.
联军发言人图尔基·马利基少将在一份声明中宣布了此次拦截，但未透露无人机来源，也未提供可能的伤亡或损失细节。
Coalition spokesman Maj. Gen. Turki al-Maliki announced the interception in a statement, without identifying the drone’s origin or providing details on possible casualties or damage.
此次宣布正值沙特领导的联军与也门胡塞武装之间的敌对行动升级之际。
The announcement came amid escalating hostilities between the Saudi-led coalition and Yemen’s Houthi group.
自2015年以来，沙特阿拉伯领导军事联军支持也门国际公认政府对抗胡塞武装，此前该武装于前一年夺取了首都萨那及也门其他地区。
Saudi Arabia has led a military coalition supporting Yemen’s internationally recognized government against the Houthis since 2015, after the group seized the capital Sanaa and other parts of Yemen the previous year.
