Saudi-led coalition accuses Iran of supplying drones to Yemen's Houthi rebels

RIYADH, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) -- The Saudi-led coalition involved in a war in Yemen on Sunday accused Iran of supplying drones to the Houthi militia, Al Arabiya TV reported.

At a press conference in the capital Riyadh, Turki Al Maliki, coalition spokesman, presented satellite images of Iran-made Ababil-T unmanned aerial vehicles at Houthi-held bases in Yemen's capital Sanaa.

He also showed images proving Houthis' access to the Iranian single-engine medium-altitude long-endurance drone Shahed 129.

The Houthis have been attacking Saudi Arabia's vital areas for more than a year, Al Maliki said.
