DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Yemen’s Houthi rebels said on Tuesday they launched at least two drones targeting a southwest Saudi city that’s home to an air base. The Houthis’ Al-Masirah satellite news channel reported the rebels launched Qasef-2K drones to strike the city of Khamis Mushait. The state-run Saudi Press Agency reported Tuesday, quoting military spokesman Col. Turki al-Maliki, that soldiers “intercepted” two drones launched by the Houthis. The Norwegian Refugee Council said the violence has displaced a quarter of a million Yemenis in the past six months. The Norwegian Refugee Council said over 26,000 people were made homeless in the port city since the signing of the agreement.
